Commissioners agree to draft letter supporting Secure Rural Schools reauthorization
Summary
Commissioners agreed to draft and send a form letter asking Representative Downing and Representative Zinci to advance the Secure Rural Schools reauthorization; a board member said the program provides roughly $3 million annually to Lincoln County.
Lincoln County commissioners voted to draft a letter of support for Secure Rural Schools reauthorization after a board member explained the program’s local importance. The board discussed a recommended form provided by the Secure Rural Schools coalition and agreed staff should circulate the format and submit a letter to the county’s federal representatives in Washington, D.C. "It provides roughly $3 million of our annual budget," a commissioner said during the discussion, urging outreach to Representative Downing and Representative Zinci to push the measure forward in Congress.
Commissioners directed staff to obtain the coalition’s recommended format and to prepare the letter for the board’s signature. The chair said the county would resend the format and proceed with drafting the support letter; commissioners indicated unanimous preliminary support to move forward.
