Montana education initiative expanding to include health services – Join the Schools of Promise Campaign

Helping students access the services they need for success takes a partnership that goes beyond school boundaries.

That’s the message two state officials are bringing to communities with the state’s lowest-performing high schools. Tuesday, the pair took their Schools of Promise http://opi.mt.gov/Programs/Promise/index.html and Communities of Promise tour to Lame Deer.

State Superintendent Denise Juneau of the Office of Public Instruction and Anna Whiting Sorrell, director of the state Department of Public Health and Human Services, met in the morning with members of the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council. They were joined by other state officials, local education representatives and families of students.

Join the Schools of Promise

The Montana Schools of Promise – School Improvement Grants Initiative is a partnership between schools, communities and the Office of Public Instruction to improve Montana’s most struggling schools. In communities across Montana, parents, families and caregivers share the hope that their children will graduate from high school and be prepared to go on to college or enter the workforce.
