Gallatin/Madison Coop

Serving as a vital educational resource within the greater Bozeman metropolitan area, the Gallatin/Madison Coop is an active public service agency based in the fringe town community of Belgrade, Montana. Listed without a dedicated physical street address, the cooperative operates as an educational service entity rather than a traditional school district, maintaining zero standalone school facilities and offering no direct prekindergarten through 12th-grade classroom enrollment. Instead, the cooperative functions as a collaborative regional hub, coordinating specialized support services and shared resources to enhance the educational landscape for partner districts across Gallatin and Madison counties.

To carry out its regional mission, the cooperative maintains a specialized workforce totaling approximately 25 full-time equivalent staff members. Reflecting its role as a service provider rather than a direct instruction provider, the agency’s staffing model is heavily weighted toward professional guidance and operational assistance, employing nearly 23 full-time equivalent support staff alongside just over two full-time teaching positions and no instructional aides. For researchers examining regional service models, as well as area educators and families seeking collaborative resources during the 2024–2025 academic year, the Gallatin/Madison Coop remains fully open and accessible through its central contact office at (406) 388-6508.
