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.

A national report on educational innovation released Monday gives Oregon mediocre grades for the way it prepares students and runs, funds and staffs its schools.

"Leaders and Laggards: A State-by-State Report Card on Educational Innovation" http://www.uschamber.com/reportcard/default is a follow-up analysis to a report two years ago by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for a Competitive Workforce http://www.uschamber.com/icw/default and the American Enterprise Institute http://www.aei.org/. The new report focuses on school reform and draws gloomy conclusions about the state of American education.
