Media and Public Information
Missoula County Public Schools has an open and productive relationship with the news media and is committed to operational transparency. All news media inquiries regarding the district, departments, or schools should be referred to the Communications Team to ensure the most timely and accurate response. Our policies ensure that media coverage does not interrupt regular educational activities and conforms to student safety and privacy standards. After-school events in designated school areas that are otherwise open to the general public are also open to the media and do not require prior arrangements.
