Rural education continues facing infrastructure and enrollment challenges. Despite billions spent expanding broadband access, adoption lags among older rural residents, limiting remote work and education benefits. Similarly, swing spaces—temporary sites for schools during renovations—require thorough planning and community engagement to minimize learning disruption. Officials stress early communication and logistical support to ensure these transitions feel seamless and preserve educational quality. These issues underscore the multifaceted demands of modernizing educational facilities while addressing digital divides.
