Source: Bomi International

By: Staff - Monday, November 20, 2006
Source: Schoolfacilities.com
Montana schools on or near Indian reservations face a unique problem. Reservation land is, for the most part, not subject to the kind of taxes that support other schools in the state. The result is schools that need to fundraise just to stay afloat.
