Free trafficking training for school bus drivers

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Montana Office of Public Instruction provides free, bus-specific training materials for school bus drivers. Drivers use them to complete annual training on spotting signs of human trafficking and how to report concerns. The materials come from groups that built courses for school bus drivers and made them free to the public. School districts and drivers can use these materials to meet any required annual training.
