MORE INFORMATION
The Census, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Research Service Rural-Urban Community Areas, USDA Business and Industry eligibility, population indicators, Departments of Education all provide various definitions on “what is rural.” Despite these definitions, rural still means different things to different people in different places and in different contexts. For this conference, rural is defined by you, the after-school practitioner, and your community.
