The roster is real. The full decision record is not connected yet.

  • Authorized seat count, seat numbers or areas, election method, and confirmed vacancies
  • Upcoming filings, candidates, certified results, and campaign disclosures
  • Attendance and trustee-seat boundaries resolvable from a street address
  • Meetings, agendas, minutes, policies, recorded votes, budgets, contracts, and vendors
  • Complaint, records-request, accessibility, correction, and change-history workflows

The Montana Office of Public Instruction report labels its rows current and publishes trustee names plus term start and end dates at the school-system level. OPI's fiscal-year 2027 legal-entity report connects each system ID to one or more component district NCES IDs. Election.org repeats the sourced system board on each exact component-district page and never relabels a missing row as a vacancy. Election.org persists trustee and clerk names, published roles, and trustee term dates. Person-level email addresses and phone numbers from the source report are intentionally omitted. Only organization-level websites are retained.

Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

About this school data

Census and NCES records describe this system’s enrollment, finances and schools for the years shown. Board, election and meeting information, when available, has separate sources and dates. An unlisted item means it is not covered here—not that it does not exist. Check the district’s official notices for current meetings and officeholders.

About these sources and their limits
Evidence boundary

What each source proves—and what it does not.

Established by the published records

  • The entity or system appears in the 2025 Census listing.
  • Its Census category, identifier, and functioning/dormant field.
  • Only the location, function, population, enrollment, and contact fields actually published.
  • Montana OPI labels the trustee rows current, publishes the term fields shown above, and connects the governing school-system ID to this exact NCES district through its fiscal-year 2027 legal-entity crosswalk.

Not established by these records

  • That the published rows equal every authorized seat, or that a missing row is a vacancy; continued service after the verification date is not inferred.
  • Seat numbers or areas, election method, boundaries, filings, candidates, results, meetings, recorded votes, contracts, or vendors.
  • The exact geographic service boundary or that a reported website remains current.
