GMM Summer Summit Survey

The first statewide Graduation Matters Montana Summit is scheduled for July 23 & 24, 2012 in Helena. School staff, students, families, local businesses and community organizations are welcome to join the Summit. There is no charge for the Summit; OPI will not reimburse for travel lodging or meals. All GMM grantees are expected to send a minimum of three people representing their local school-community effort. During the Summit we hope to learn more about what’s working right here in Montana to keep kids in school, and prepared for their next steps in life upon graduation.
