Browning Public Schools Receive Grant

USDA Rural Development formally awarded a grant in the amount of $498,746 to Browning Public School District #9 through its Rural Utilities Service Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant program.

The funds will be used in conjunction with $191,172 in matching funds from the grantee to provide distance learning services to twelve rural schools throughout the State of Montana. The program seeks to help level the playing field for disadvantaged rural students in economically depressed areas.

Janelle Gustafson, Acting State Director for Rural Development said "This investment in Browning, as well as other rural tribal schools, helps bridge the educational gaps we often face here in Montana. We’re pleased to be a part of this effort to provide greater educational access to students in Browning, Poplar, and Wyola."
