Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Missoula County Superintendent Alex Apostle is about to unveil a new initiative designed to keep students in school.

But he’s quick to say it’s not his initiative.

"This isn’t an Alex Apostle thing, or even just a school thing," the superintendent said. "This is a Missoula thing, and that’s what will make it work."

The initiative, which features a Web site called http://www.graduationmattersmissoula.org, will go public on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in a press event at the new education building at the University of Montana.
