Helena - Montana Unified School Trust (MUST), is excited to be able to offer Montana’s public schools additional flexibility and efficiencies in their funding of employee health benefits.

The Multidistrict Agreement allows MUST to help our public schools utilize available means to fund employee benefits,” said Andrew Holmlund, CEO of Montana School Services Foundation (MSSF).

As a retired superintendent, “I believe support of our public schools and staff is essential in providing an excellent education for our youth. With one focus, we at MUST are proud to partner with our public schools for finding solutions aimed at tackling their challenges,” Mr. Holmlund shared.
