Question of the Week: In an effort to improve communication we will start having a “Question of the Week”. If you have a question please email it to [email protected]. Then one of the questions submitted will be drawn to be addressed in the following week’s Viking View. Questions cannot involve personal situations among students, staff, or parents. They should be general in nature and related to public information.

This week’s question: Why isn’t the county more responsible for cross-cutting services all schools need like transportation?

The founders of education in Montana focused on local control by each school district. Being that local control is a basic tenant of education in Montana it is up to each school district within each county to be responsible for such things as transportation. There would need to be changes made at the State Level before the county would become responsible for services with schools.

February School Board Meeting Change: The regular monthly school board meeting for February will be held on Feb. 15 at 7 PM instead of Feb. 21.

Little Dribblers: A flyer went home to K-5 students with details on Little Dribblers this past week. If you did not get one but want more information please call the office 644-2206.
