For students in RSU #74’s Alternative Education program, learning this spring started in the forest and ended with maple syrup on ice cream. Better together! Attendance is everyone’s work. The Maine Department of Education is excited to launch the Dirigo Schools of Distinction framework for the 2026–27 school year! The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is pleased to announce the Wabanaki Studies Indigenous Literature Grant Program, a funding opportunity designed to expand and strengthen the teaching of Wabanaki Studies. School entities, including school administrative units (SAUs), private schools approved for public tuition purposes, Indian Education Schools, and Education in Unorganized Territories (EUT) schools are eligible to receive up to $500 to purchase books that support Wabanaki Studies. Eligible books must align with the Maine DOE Wabanaki Studies resources and be written by an Indigenous author. In recognition of Constitution Day on September 17, the Maine Department of Education is pleased to announce Democracy Lab, a new facilitator’s guide designed to support educators and students in exploring the nation’s founding ideals. This interactive resource examines principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence, including natural, unalienable rights, equity, the consent of the governed, and the belief that governmental authority rests with the people. While Constitution Day commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution, the Democracy Lab helps participants explore the ideas that influenced the nation’s system of government. As September 11 approaches, educators may be considering how to thoughtfully help students understand and reflect on the events of 9/11 and their lasting impact. Today, staff from the Maine DOE Office of School and Student Supports join Maine DHHS in recognizing and raising awareness of 988 Day. Regional School Unit 1 (RSU1), serving the communities of Bath, Woolwich, Phippsburg and Arrowsic, has completed a comprehensive, district-wide, sustainability plan joining a small but growing number of school administrative units (SAUs) taking a significant step toward making sustainability and climate action part of their long-term planning and operations.
