President highlights Secure Rural Schools reauthorization at signing event
Summary
At the White House signing, officials noted the reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools program that guarantees funds for eligible rural counties for schools, roads and infrastructure; Secretary Rollins and lawmakers said about 700 counties are eligible.
During the signing ceremony the president and Secretary Rollins noted that the Secure Rural Schools reauthorization, signed in December, guarantees funds for roughly 700 eligible rural counties for schools, roads and infrastructure. Lawmakers at the event said the extension was critical for rural communities and that work remains to secure a permanent reauthorization.
Representative and senator attendees urged continued cooperation to make the reauthorization permanent; one lawmaker said the extension picked up several missed years and will require future reauthorization work. The administration presented the two measures together as supporting rural areas and school nutrition.
