Mr. Speaker, schools and counties across Rural America are facing a funding and economic crisis. Mr. Ohalloran it has now been over two years since congress has failed to reauthorize the secure rules school secure rural schools program. This is beyond unacceptable. Schools and counties across Rural America are facing a funding and economic crisis and the reauthorization of the secure rural schools and Community Selfdetermination Act will go a long way to ensuring children get the education they need to achieve success in todays economy. The speaker pro tempore the house if in the house is not in order. The house will be in order. Members, please remove conversations from the house floor. He house will be in order. The gentleman from arizona is recognized. Mr. Ohalleran i have heard families, teachers and School Administrators tell me about the dire straits schools will be in if s. R. S. Is not reauthorized. N Greenlee County in eastern arizona, the School Superintendent shared with me, if the county does see s. R. S. Dollars theyll have to close the school that provides special education service. This is after the school has gone through major changes to save money. Across rural arizona, schools face issues with access to technology and education opportunities. That came from them. Reauthorizing secure rural schools will allow more schools to develop innovative educational opportunities. Yet in one county where they are using distance learn, schools can share teachers, making sure students dont miss opportunities because they live in Rural America is the right thing to do and reauthorizing s. R. S. Will better enable coordination and support for students. Mr. Speaker, the people of rural arizona and america are tough and innovative but the simple fact is that they need resources to keep schools open and educate children. It is pastime that we reauthorize s. R. S. And i call on my colleagues to do so today. Across Rural America and rural arizona the need for infrastructure is only growing. In hila county, a bridge is needed to make it safer for people to cross a creek. S. R. S. Funding would make it possible for the county to make a greater contribution to get that completed. If we are serious about passing a bipartisan infrastructure plan its critical we make sure local communities can begin planning. Reauthorizatn of s. R. S. Would allow that to happen. Nationally, there are 720 counties and 4 and 4,400 School Districts that that depend on secure rural schools for education as well as other Critical Services and programs like Law Enforcement and infrastructure. Rural america is ready for a renaissance. But for it to happen, we need to make sure that folks have equal access to opportunities in school and in the work force. That means we need to guarantee that schools have the resources they need to educate our children and achieve their potential. That means we need to make sure that communities have infrastructure that supports local economies and keeps people safe. That means we need to make sure that Rural Americans have a fair shot. I call on my colleagues to support my commonsense amendment on behalf of kids across Rural America and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from arizona yields back.
