Montana recently received a rough infrastructure report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers - earning a C- grade. One of the areas Montana struggles with most is school infrastructure.

“Poor, At Risk”, that’s how a recent report rates Montana's school infrastructure, earning the category a “D” grade.

Dustin Hover is one of the project managers behind the school section of the 2024 infrastructure review. Few facilities in the state have plans on updating and maintaining this infrastructure, Hover told NBC Montana.

“We’ve got highly qualified individuals ruining our schools, but that doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily qualified, informed, anything like that relative to the infrastructure - your heating and cooling systems, your exterior, your roof,” Hover, who’s with Missoula’s WGM Group, said.
