Donors keep Literacy Bitterroot funded until tax monies kick in
January 21, 2019 /
In November, Ravalli County residents passed a 1.5 mill levy to support adult literacy with 54 percent of the vote.
It was great news for Literacy Bitterroot director Dixie Stark, whose 30-year-old program was facing a financial challenge after losing about half its annual budget following changes made by the Montana Office of Public Instruction that made it impossible for the program to apply for a federal grant.
“We were so grateful to see the message was clear,” Stark said. “Our community understood that our program was both necessary and that its services needed to be provided locally.”
