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.

Great Falls Public Schools’ dropout rate reached a 10-year low, the school system and United Way of Cascade County announced Monday.

Still, that means 112 students dropped out of the GFPS system in the 2012-13 school year, and that is 112 too many, a group of educators and United Way representatives emphasized at a media event at First Interstate Bank.

It is still marked improvement since between 2005 and 2010, an average of 200 students dropped out of Great Falls Public Schools.
