Pilot Virtual School Supply Drive 2019-2020
More than 9.3 million U.S. students attended school in a rural area last year. What's even more jarring is that rural youth academic performance is 60-100 points below the Common Core standard. Many schools in these areas are functioning without the necessary supplies like pens, paper and notebooks that would enable their teachers and students to succeed.
