I invite you to check out the Office of Public Instruction’s Web site www.opi.state.mt.us. The OPI Web site is easy to use and contains many resources, such as published reports and documents, state and national education news, upcoming education events, links to OPI programs, as well as this Directory of Montana Schools for 2003-2004 in electronic form. We strive to constantly keep you informed of meaningful and helpful education information. Your suggestions are always welcome as to how we can best serve your needs and be a better resource to Montana schools and classrooms.
