Big Sky Pathways helps Montana students find careers
One part of this plan is to provide career planning tools and identify high-skill, high-wage, and high demand occupations to serve as guides for students and educators in planning these current or emerging occupational opportunities.
Canceling Steve Running speech to high school students in Choteau, MT by the Superintendent a close-minded decision. "Who needs that Globul Warming Guy? "
Running did deliver a speech in Choteau that day, and it was a familiar one to anyone who’s heard him speak in recent months. It’s about climate change, mostly, but it’s also about people’s irrational reactions to bad news.
We find that ironic, as well as the fact that St. John canceled Running’s second speech to avoid controversy. Far worse than the pressure Choteau escaped by bowing to its most close-minded community members is the national attention that’s now embarrassing the entire school district. (and Montana)
Distance learning rules mulled over by Montana
The Montana Board of Public Education said last week it had made “significant progress on access to K-12 distance learning” in the form of a rule change recommended by an advisory committee.
Billings School District 2 offers $1M deal for saving energy. Energy Education Inc. promises to save district $3.7M over 5 years. (Why not in all schools including the University System?)
The company, based in Wichita Falls, Texas, specializes in energy conservation management for schools and promises to save the district at least $3.7 million in energy costs over five years.
Choteau School Board decision to cancel speech took away a unique opportunity to learn
Our school leaders seem to be under the impression that high school students are not able to hear about what some deem "controversial topics" and form individual judgments. This raises the question of what exactly public high school education is. Is it the spoon-feeding of information to America’s next generation or is it presenting this generation with all the facts and allowing students to decide how those facts are interpreted?
To the Choteau school board and some of the Choteau community I hope you realize that our school is probably one of the few districts in the nation to deny a Nobel Peace Prize winner the right to speak to its students.
Academy proposed for Montana’s gifted students
The best and brightest students in Montana could find a unique home at Montana Tech under a proposal by the chancellor.
MSU lab keeps Montanans safe from biological invaders
Montanans don’t think a lot about "Homeland Security," but one Montana State University unit that serves both ag producers and home gardeners also serves to keep us safe from other biological invaders.
Climate talk’s cancellation splits a U.S. town – Choteau, Montana High School cancels speech by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Steven Running
In fact, part of the talk Running gave last Thursday night was about what he calls the “Five Stages of Climate Grief.”
Stage one is denial, and stage two is anger. It’s folks mired in those steps that got Running’s speech canceled, he said.
An incident during Running’s albeit serious presentation made people smile. When Running was explaining how, during the past summer, the Arctic ice pack shrunk to an unprecedented size, she overheard a kindergarten student say to a first grader, "Santa Claus is in trouble."
Billings School District 2 was given the go-ahead for some $1.6 million in wind power development
The district spends about $3 million a year on utilities, about half of that on electricity. Based on conservative estimates at today’s rates, the district could net $34,000 a year after bond payments.

education forward for our students in Montana," said State Superintendent
Linda McCulloch.
