Secretary DeVos Challenges Educators to Rethink Education Options for Rural High School Students Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

The U.S. Department of Education announced the Rural Tech Project, a challenge that invites high schools and local educational agencies (LEAs) to develop competency-based distance learning programs to improve instruction in rural communities. Five finalists will receive an equal share of a $500,000 pool and then have two years to refine their program before one finalist is chosen and awarded an additional $100,000 prize. Proposals are due October 8, 2020.
