“I always learn a lot when I visit Hoosier schools on my 92 County Tour,” Braun said in a news release. “Today I spoke with teachers and administrators at Northeastern Wayne Schools in Wayne County to hear about the challenges rural schools face and how they’re dealing with them.”

In a video statement about the meeting, Braun said the discussion stretched beyond just recent challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We had a good conversation among a group of teachers and superintendent and administrators in talking about all the challenges that schools have across the state, especially with COVID, but here we’re talking about challenges of rural schools doing building projects and just trying to make sure that they can continue the quality education,” Braun said. “I always learn a lot when I stop in and have conversations like this.”
