3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill proposes changes to Maine's Essential Programs and Services (EPS) school funding formula, primarily affecting how schools are funded for special education, transportation, and economically disadvantaged students. It adjusts the maximum percentage of students counted for special education funding, revises how transportation costs are predicted, and modifies the additional weights for economically disadvantaged students. The bill also introduces a regional adjustment based on the cost of living and sets caps on certain special education funding adjustments.
