MAPS Current Priorities

MAPS focuses on issues that affect the daily work of private school leaders and the long term vitality of private education in Montana.

  • State level professional development: Advocating for private school educators to be included in needs assessment, planning, communication, and access.

  • Federal program consultation: Supporting school leaders as they navigate Title I, Title II-A, Title IV-A, IDEA, E-Rate, and other eligible services.

  • School choice policy: Providing a constructive voice for family choice and educational pluralism.

  • Leadership network: Creating a stronger statewide peer community for heads of school, principals, and system leaders.
