PRIORITY NOTICE: New Opioid Overdose Management Toolkit and Naloxone Education Course Available for Schools

The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is proud to announce the launch of a new, comprehensive Toolkit for Opioid Overdose Management and Naloxone Education in Schools, developed to support educators, school health personnel, and administrators in implementing effective overdose prevention strategies across the state’s school systems.

This resource includes evidence-based guidance on recognizing and managing an overdose, as well as educational materials to support those responsible for teaching overdose response in school settings. In addition to reviewing the Toolkit, educators can learn more about how to engage students in this critical topic by completing the Naloxone Education Course. This free, asynchronous, online course is designed to enhance educators’ knowledge and skills for delivering age-appropriate, accurate overdose prevention education.

This initiative reflects the Maine DOE’s continued commitment to student health, safety, and wellness by providing schools with the tools they need to address the ongoing opioid crisis in developmentally appropriate, evidence-based, and school-centered ways.

This toolkit was developed in alignment with LD 772, An Act To Permit Naloxone Possession, Prescription, Administration, and Distribution in Public and Private Schools and LD 1315, An Act to Require Public Schools to Offer Training for Secondary Students on the Administration of Naloxone Hydrochloride, which mandate the development of guidelines related to naloxone administration and education in schools and outline standards for classroom instruction. This initiative is consistent with broader efforts at both the state and national levels to expand access to life-saving interventions and to equip school communities with knowledge and resources to respond to emergencies.

About the Toolkit and Course
The Toolkit for Opioid Overdose Management and Naloxone Education in Schools includes:

  • Sample policies and procedures
  • Student training resources
  • Guidance on safe storage and administration of naloxone
  • Links to state-level technical assistance

The online Naloxone Education Course provides:

  • Flexible, asynchronous, online professional development
  • Scenario-based learning for responding to a suspected overdose
  • Instructions on the administration of nasal naloxone
  • Legal and ethical considerations for school staff

Implementation and Access
The Toolkit and Course are available to all schools statewide through the following links:

Schools are encouraged to review these materials and integrate them into existing emergency preparedness, school health, and student support frameworks.

This initiative was made possible through a collaboration between the Maine DOE Office of School and Student Supports, Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Maine DHHS Office of Behavioral Health, and MaineGeneral Medical Center, as well as local educational and health partners.  

Additional resources to support student and staff education, as well as policy development, can be found on the Maine DOE Coordinated School Health Emergency Care webpage.

Celebrating Adult Education and Family Literacy Week from September 14-20, 2025

Governor Janet Mills has proclaimed September 14-20, 2025, as Adult Education and Family Literacy Week.

The proclamation states, in part: “Thousands of adults in Maine need assistance to qualify for better-paying and more fulfilling jobs, to achieve a post-secondary education, or to improve their English language skills.” It continues: “Success in these endeavors leads to these adults becoming more effective family members, citizens, and workers.”

You may read the Governor’s proclamation in full here.

Located statewide, more than 65 adult education programs are part of the public education system in Maine, assisting adult learners with their next educational and career steps. Last year, these programs helped 12,400 students to train for a career, earn their high school credentials, prepare for college, and learn English.

Below, please find additional information about the impact of Maine’s adult education programs.

Workforce

Maine Adult Education is helping to fill gaps in the workforce through collaborative and creative efforts with community partners and employers. From renewable energy and healthcare to commercial driving, adult education programs offer affordable workforce training that leads to certifications and credentials.

Last year, Maine’s adult education programs awarded 3,073 workforce certifications, credentials, and licenses in high-demand industries. Check out this example from Lincoln County’s CNA program.

Adult Basic Education

Maine’s adult education programs worked with more than 6,000 Adult Basic Education learners last year, helping them to strengthen their math, reading, digital, and English language skills—and ultimately preparing them for further job training and college.

HiSET – Maine’s High School Equivalency Test

Nearly 1,000 Maine adults earned their high school credentials through Maine Adult Education last year. Maine adults can earn their high school equivalency (HiSET®) or high school diploma for free through Maine Adult Education. Find a program near you to get started.

Read about the robust adult education programming happening in Presque Isle.

Maine College Career Access (MCCA)  

Adult education can help adults to get ready for college and career through advising, career exploration, college navigation, academic and digital skill building, and more. More than 1,500 adults have accessed Maine’s adult education programs to advance their career and college-ready skills through the Maine College and Career Access program.

Here is a feature about new partnerships and opportunities in Franklin County.

Stepping Forward: How Veazie’s Transition of CDS Services Is Fueling a Strong Sense of Community

Loyann Worster is one of those lucky people who found her calling in life. She is entering her 11th year as a pre-K teacher at Veazie Community School; it was her first teaching job after graduating from college, and she never left.

“I never saw myself doing this, but once I started, it was obvious that this has got to be what I do,” Worster said. “I really, really enjoy teaching this age group.”

Last year, Veazie Community School was one of a handful of school districts to participate in Cohort 1 of the transition of Early Childhood Special Education services from Child Development Services (CDS) to school administrative units (SAUs). Worster worked for CDS in a special purpose preschool about 15 years ago and heard inklings about the concept of a transition for a while.

“I was really excited, just to see what that was going to bring and how that might change things at our school, but I was also really nervous because we were the first cohort,” Worster said. “Nobody really knew what that was going to look like or how that was going to work.”

Fortunately, Worster said that thanks to exceptional teamwork among staff members and funding to provide necessary materials, the transition went well. In fact, she called the overall effects of the transition “amazing.” Now, specialists are in her school building as a part of the early childhood program, providing students with special needs the services that they require that she isn’t able to provide. Worster said that children can start coming to school through the early childhood program when they’re three years old, which means they can receive their services much more quickly and simultaneously get to know the occupational therapists, speech therapists, etc., who they might end up working with once they’re in preschool.

“By the time they come to pre-K on day one, they are ready to go!” Worster said.

That provision of services within a typical school district model has been significant even beyond just a logistical standpoint. Worster said now, some of her pre-K classes have a mix of children with disabilities and children without disabilities, which has been beneficial to all.

“Inclusion is the way to be. Having these children in our classrooms is the way to be,” Worster said. “They’re all really learning how to come together and be a community of people with differences.”

Tim Tweedie, Superintendent of Veazie Community School, credits the “can-do” attitude of his staff for the success his district has seen throughout the past year as a part of Cohort 1.

“The one question we had to ask was, ‘Is this something we feel that we can do?’ After a brief discussion, we said, ‘Yeah—and whatever we don’t know, we’ll figure out,’” Tweedie said.

The benefit of this transition has extended to local families, too.

“For parents, this is like a one-stop shop,” Tweedie explained. “If they have multiple services, they can get those all under one roof, and it is convenient for the parents.”

“Parents love the fact that they are at our school. They get to see their teacher, their speech person, their occupational therapist, their physical therapist,” Debrajean Scheibel, Director of Special Services at Veazie Community School, added.

For Schiebel, that opportunity to interact directly with families through the early childhood program has been invaluable. She said some families are already remarking to her that they are noticing growth in their child as a result of the transition of these services.

“You can’t even begin to put a price-tag on any of that,” Schiebel said.

Veazie Community School and the Maine DOE Office of Special Services and Inclusive Education contributed to this article, written as part of a series highlighting the ongoing efforts of CDS and public schools in providing comprehensive educational services to Maine’s children with special needs.

George B. Weatherbee School Earns Prestigious RAMP® Designation for Exemplary School Counseling Program

The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is excited to celebrate George B. Weatherbee School of RSU 22 in Hampden for earning the esteemed Recognized ASCA Model Program® (RAMP®) designation from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). This national recognition honors schools that deliver data-driven, comprehensive school counseling programs that support every student’s academic, social, and emotional success.

George B. Weatherbee School joins a select group of 1,300 schools nationwide—and only five in Maine—that have been recognized with this award over the past 21 years. This achievement was made possible through the dedication and collaboration of the school’s educators, students, and community.

“This recognition is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to providing an education that holistically addresses the social, emotional, and academic needs of every student,” former George B. Weatherbee School Principal Jennifer Cyr said. “I’m incredibly proud of our school and district’s dedication to fostering equity and belonging—critical protective factors that set our students up for lifelong success. Special recognition goes to Mrs. [Rachel] Silknitter, whose exceptional leadership as our school counselor guided our team through this powerful work. I also extend my sincere gratitude to all committee members whose participation and dedication made this achievement possible. This honor affirms that we are on the right path in creating an environment where all students can thrive.”

The RAMP® designation recognizes schools that align their counseling programs with the ASCA National Model®, a framework grounded in data and best practices. Research has shown that fully implemented school counseling programs are associated with improved student outcomes, from academic achievement to positive behavioral development.

“This year’s RAMP® honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” Jill Cook, ASCA executive director, said. “These schools used data to drive their program development and implementation so all students can achieve success. The RAMP® designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to strive for excellence.”

The Maine DOE applauds George B. Weatherbee School for this remarkable accomplishment and extends heartfelt congratulations to the educators, students, and school community whose hard work and passion for student success made it possible. Their achievement serves as an inspiring example of what is possible when schools prioritize the whole child and ensure every student feels supported, valued, and ready to thrive.

Bring Constitutional Learning to Life: Register Your Third Graders for the Virtual Mock Trial on Constitution Day!

On Constitution Day this year, Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Maine third-grade teachers are invited to have their classes take part in a unique national virtual learning experience: the Third Grade Virtual Mock Trial, hosted by Olathe Public Schools in partnership with the Kansas 10th Judicial District Court.

What Is Involved

  • Event Date and Time: September 17, 2025, beginning at 11:30 a.m. EST (10:30 a.m. CT)
  • Format: A live, interactive mock trial designed especially for third graders—offering a fun, civic-themed activity to celebrate Constitution Day and Freedom Week. It’s completely free and accessible to educators across Maine and beyond.

This engaging mock trial supports the Maine third-grade social studies standard—that societies are shaped by the identities, beliefs, and practices of individuals and groups, and that choices have consequences, and individuals have rights and responsibilities. Students will connect with civic concepts such as:

  • Understanding why we have laws and rules
  • Learning about the roles of court officials
  • Exploring how giving back through civic duties, like jury service, strengthens the community
  • Experiencing the workings of the judicial branch and Constitution firsthand

Ready-Made Classroom Tools

To ensure a seamless and enriching experience, participating teachers can access:

  • Instructional materials that support classroom learning before, during, and after the event.
  • Lessons exploring rule-making, the various roles in a courtroom, and even a virtual courtroom tour!

How to Sign Up

  1. Visit the registration page to sign up; once confirmed, you will receive the Zoom event link via email.
  2. Review the instructional materials in advance to fully engage students in this civic learning experience.
  3. Contact the Johnson County Kansas Courts via their email at Johnson-ConstitutionDay@kscourts.gov with any technical or procedural questions.

Launched more than a decade ago by Judge Robert J. Wonnell at Forest View Elementary in Olathe, the Third Grade Virtual Mock Trial has grown from a local classroom activity to a nationwide celebration of civic learning.

In 2024, the mock trial engaged more than 13,000 students across 542 classrooms in Kansas alone, featuring notable appearances by Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Marla Luckert, Governor Laura Kelly, and U.S. Senator Jerry Moran via livestream—and even attracted attention from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

For further information, please visit the Olathe Public Schools website or contact the Johnson County Kansas Courts at Johnson-ConstitutionDay@kscourts.gov.

Educators Invited to ‘Counted Out’ Film Screenings and Guided Dinner Discussions Across Maine

This October, the Maine Department of Education (DOE), in partnership with the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in Maine (ATOMIM) and the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance (MMSA), invites educators and school leaders to a series of free, in-person events across the state to watch the film “Counted Out” and participate in a dine-and-discuss event with fellow educators.

These engaging evenings include a screening of the award-winning documentary “Counted Out,” a casual meal, and guided small-group discussions. Together, participants will reflect on how math instruction can either empower or exclude—and how we can make math education more inclusive, relevant, and equitable for all Maine learners.

About the Film

“Counted Out” explores the biggest crises of our time—political polarization, racial and economic inequity, public health, and climate change—through an unexpected lens: math. The film challenges educators to consider how math can be both a gatekeeper and a gateway, and how rethinking its role in society can lead to transformational change in education and beyond.
