The story regarding the fate of rural schools seems to almost be written in stone with respect to funding. Lots of people will wring their hands and some spats will arise. A little tinkering of finances will take place but nothing of any magnitude will occur. It's not only that various bodies of governance can't agree on what to do there's another rather sinister reason why little will take place.
Teachers, whether in rural settings, suburbia or the inner city will do what they always do. As the expression goes, 'we'll make do.' It is part of the genius of good teachers and excellent schools but it is also one of the reasons that the wringing of hands goes on. Government bodies know full well that schools will 'make do.'
As funds dry up and solutions aren't brought forward rural schools will slowly continue to close their doors.
