Editing Yellowstone National Park (section)

==Education==
{{Asof|2022}}, resident park employees living in the [[Mammoth, Wyoming]] area around the outer edge of the park may send their children to school in [[Gardiner Public Schools]] of [[Gardiner, Montana]]. The former Mammoth School has a preschool and a community center. Some families have one parent in [[Bozeman, Montana]] with the children attending school in Bozeman instead of in the Mammoth/Gardiner area. Not as many children live in locations in the interior of the park. Several families of park employees living in interior parts of the park have one parent in a city such as [[Cody, Wyoming]] or [[West Yellowstone, Montana]] so the children can go to school in those cities.<ref name=Locationfored>{{cite web|last=Weber|first=Liz|url=https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/education/location-for-education-yellowstones-school-shows-unique-park-history/article_c52b7317-0a2a-55ef-9204-87be744696df.html|title='Location for education': Yellowstone's school shows unique park history|newspaper=[[Bozeman Daily Chronicle]]|date=2022-03-16|access-date=2024-10-05}}<br>Also see, cited by the article: {{cite web|last=Whittlesey|first=Lee H.|url=https://npshistory.com/publications/yell/mammoth-hs-school-2008.pdf|title=A Brief History of the School at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming|publisher=npshistory.com (not an NPS official website)|access-date=2024-10-05}} - The author was at the time an employee of the National Park Service.</ref>

Circa the 1880s there were education programs for dependent children in the Mammoth area, involving a person hired to teach via money from parents or a soldier providing such services. Some residents chose to send their children to schools in locations towards the east of the country or in Bozeman. In 1921 the Mammoth School, created by the Park Service, opened. By 2008 more and more Yellowstone employees only were in Yellowstone during park season, and fewer employees had dependent children. Additionally, the interstate agreement to send Wyoming money to Montana was made circa that year. For those two reasons, in 2008 the Mammoth School closed.<ref name=Locationfored>{{cite web|last=Weber|first=Liz|url=https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/education/location-for-education-yellowstones-school-shows-unique-park-history/article_c52b7317-0a2a-55ef-9204-87be744696df.html|title='Location for education': Yellowstone's school shows unique park history|newspaper=[[Bozeman Daily Chronicle]]|date=2022-03-16|access-date=2024-10-05}}<br>Also see, cited by the article: {{cite web|last=Whittlesey|first=Lee H.|url=https://npshistory.com/publications/yell/mammoth-hs-school-2008.pdf|title=A Brief History of the School at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming|publisher=npshistory.com (not an NPS official website)|access-date=2024-10-05}} - The author was at the time an employee of the National Park Service.</ref>
