SRS authorization expired last year. To help ensure the reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program, counties must now focus on U.S. House advocacy. U.S. House leadership needs to hear from local elected officials about SRS’s importance to rural communities and the disastrous consequences of failing to reauthorize this program. SRS supports over 700 counties and without reauthorization many will experience severe budgetary shortfalls, affecting the delivery of vital services including education, infrastructure maintenance, disaster mitigation and more.

Counties received their last SRS payment in 2024 and did not receive an SRS payment in 2025. It’s urgent that Congress reauthorizes SRS to prevent severe budget shortfalls in forest counties.
