Together with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, Governor Greg Gianforte announced that the state distributed $2.7 million in federal funding to public and private schools this fall to help them remain open during the ongoing pandemic.

Gianforte said. “Since we first began distributing funding for rapid testing in the late summer, DPHHS has distributed $2.7 million to help minimize the spread of COVID in schools.”
