Rising constructions costs, declining enrollment and a growing list of new school requests has prompted the state to reconsider its funding system. #Maine #mepolitics centralmaine.com/2025/09/30/mai…
The #Maine Department of Education shared that there are currently 80 school bus driver vacancies across the state, and the shortages are impacting student extracurricular activities, field trips and daily school transportation. newscentermaine.com/article/news/e…
The Department of Education reversed its recent decision to cut more than $600,000 in already allocated funding for Veterans Upward Bound, which it said conflicted with the Trump administration’s priorities. #Maine #mepolitics pressherald.com/2025/09/30/fed…
“For a while there, it kind of saved me as a person, because I was living in my car for a little bit, but I still didn’t have to worry about college being free.”
Until she discovered that through the state program she could attend Eastern Maine Community College for free. “If I didn’t go to community college for free, I wouldn’t be able to afford to go to any college,” she said.
Growing up, Salem Carmichael’s family lived paycheck to paycheck, so she never considered college an option. She had always been interested in early childhood education, but didn’t think she’d be able to pursue a degree. mainemorningstar.com/2025/09/29/wha…
The funding, more than $600K, goes to programs at the USM and the UMF that support low-income high school students and veterans in their pursuit of higher education. They were canceled on September 12. mainepublic.org/education-news… #Maine #MEpolitics
"U.S. Sen Susan Collins and U.S. Reps. Jared Golden & Chellie Pingree have all spoken out against the decision to cancel two of Maine’s Upward Bound grants. Collins, a longtime champion of the TRIO programs, said she’s in contact with the Dept. of Edu about the canceled awards."
The Department of Education canceled more than $600,000 in funding for Veterans Upward Bound at the University of Southern Maine. If it’s not restored, the whole program will end on Sept. 30.
Veterans Upward Bound helps Maine vets go to college, but the U.S. Department of Education is cutting its funding, saying the program ‘conflicts’ with its priorities. pressherald.com/2025/09/24/tru…
The bill still has a significant way to go. To become law, the measure needs to be passed in the House and Senate and signed by Gov. Janet Mills. pressherald.com/2023/05/04/com…
A bill to gradually raise the minimum teacher salary to $50,000 by 2027-28 won unanimous, bipartisan support in the Education and Cultural Affairs Committee.

The bill proposes to amend Maine's criminal code by removing the educational exemption for distribution of “obscene materials.” This bill, as written, is dangerous.
School librarians are joining educators and free speech advocates to fight a proposal in the Maine Legislature that could ban schools from providing students with books and other educational materials considered obscene. pressherald.com/2023/03/01/sch…
