Last session, legislation was adopted to create the New York State Center on Rural Schools at Cornell University.  The Center aims to be a leader “in solving systemic problems and improving opportunities, practice, policy for rural schools and the communities they serve.”

The Center just recently launched a website: www.nyruralschools.org.

They have done some interesting work in analyzing the roll-out of Universal Prekindergarten in rural communities. Several papers are available under “Useful Information” here.

The Center plans a summit on small schools for March 26th in Liverpool (near Syracuse).
