By Barbara Kent Lawrence, with support from the Rural Trust

Save a Penny, Lose a School, is the second report in a series of policy briefs on rural education.

It examines the extent, causes, and consequences of deferred maintenance as well as recommendations for policy, practice, and funding that can help correct this national problem.
