Putting Montana Students First
Educational policy affects all of our Montana students and families. This is a transparent portal for all educational updates offered to legislators, parents, and families.
To our legislators: Remember families are the foundation of learning as our parents are the first teachers. Our Montana students are our most precious resource and the future of this great state. Thank you for putting our Montana students and families first as you reflect on educational policies during the session.
