The Gardiner School District in Montana was set to lose $500,000 in annual federal funding for students from Yellowstone National Park families. However, the district found a temporary solution by signing an agreement with Wyoming that will allow the state's governor to use emergency funds to provide the $500,000 to the district for this year. This buys the district some time as they work on a long-term plan with options like creating a new district or expanding boundaries. The superintendent plans to update parents and community members on the situation at a school board meeting.
