How Montana funds schools

The ANB & BASE funding system

Montana builds each district’s budget around Average Number Belonging (ANB), an enrollment count that drives the state-guaranteed BASE budget (the minimum general-fund level). State and county equalization payments plus local mills fund the BASE, with additional per-ANB and quality-educator components layered on; voters may approve spending above the BASE up to a maximum budget.

Statewide, Montana public schools draw about 44.2% of revenue from the state, 44.3% local and 11.5% federal (NEA, Rankings & Estimates 2026). Current figures are published by the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
