Shale Exploration LLC gives $130,000 to Scobey, Montana schools for iPads – Sets Example for Other Companies

Thanks to a surprise donation, Scobey Public Schools will have iPads for each of its students next school year.

"We got a call last Wednesday night saying they’d like to donate right away," Superintendent Dave Selvig said. "I just didn’t believe it at first, but the next day, they came through."

The $130,000 donation came from Shale Exploration LLC http://shaleexp.com/ , a Texas-based oil and gas exploration corporation with offices in Scobey that is working in North Dakota’s Bakken oil fields.

Shale plans to open an office in Billings within the next few months and will hire between 25 and 40 people. Sallis said he hopes to set an example for other energy companies coming into the region.
