Due to the rapidly evolving novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the State of Maine and across the U.S., the Maine Department of Education has decided to cancel the 2020 MLTI Student Conference, which was scheduled for May 21, 2020.
The large conference is attended by more than 1000 students and educators. Based on evaluation of evolving circumstances, and in coordination with the Commissioner’s office, it is clear that it is in the best interest of all to make the cancellation decision now.
The Department’s decision was made in consideration of the health and well-being of attendees and an understanding of the challenges district staff and students will encounter upon their return to school after a significant disruption in their lives and school year.
