Acting on recommendations outlined in the Section 5005 Report on Rural Education (see https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/rural/rural-education-report.pdf for more information), the Department has examined how to decrease the burden associated with the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program application process. A number of potential process improvements were identified, and the Department is committed to adopting a more streamlined SRSA application. The Department wants to limit the amount of information that it collects from school districts to that information which is absolutely necessary to process an application. In addition, the Department is seeking to identify a more user friendly platform for school districts to use to submit their applications.
