Join your Helena neighbors to learn about upcoming school levies on the ballot, legislative updates and local impacts of some recent state and federal actions.

Helena Public Schools Superintendent Rex Weltz will open the meeting with a brief overview of how Helena funds its schools, what the general fund levy is and why it’s needed.

He’ll also address upcoming tech levies on the ballot for the elementary and high schools. And he’ll explain the local impacts of recent federal actions to shut down the U.S. Department of Education.

Rob Watson, executive director of the School Administrators of Montana, has been asked to speak about major education bills coming out of the Montana legislature, including the school funding interim commission (10 year review).

The meeting will close with a question-and-answer session. Free and open to the public.

This event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Helena Area and the Lewis & Clark Library.
