We kicked off CTE Month celebrations today in the Hall of Flags with @mainecte, showcasing the incredible talent, innovation, and impact of Maine’s Career & Technical Education programs. With 11,300+ student enrollments — the highest in state history — CTE is helping prepare Maine’s future workforce through hands-on learning and real-world experiences. Educators across Maine are invited to register for a new six-part professional learning series, “Beyond Compliance: Integrated Supports for Multilingual Learners with Disabilities.” This virtual series will support collaborative, student-centered approaches that integrate language development and special education services. RSU 22 is building a positive, student-centered school culture district-wide through the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)—and the results are making a difference for students, staff, and families. Earlier this week, Commissioner Makin spent time reading with students at Tremont Consolidated School (AOS91 - Mount Desert Island Regional School System) as she kicked off the 2026 #ReadtoME Challenge. New funding and resources are available to help school administrative units (SAUs) cut energy costs, improve efficiency, and upgrade facilities — including free energy audits, LED lighting retrofit funding, and federal tax credit guidance for clean energy projects. Thinking about attending the Second Annual Maine Inclusive Education Conference on April 8? Now’s the time to register! The 2026 Read to ME Challenge has kicked off, and families, caregivers, educators, and community members across Maine are invited to join in and make reading part of every day. The challenge launched yesterday when Commissioner Makin kicked off the Read to ME Challenge with second- and third-grade students at the Tremont Consolidated School (AOS91 - Mount Desert Island Regional School System) library in Bass Harbor, sharing stories and celebrating the joy of reading together. Heads up! The Maine Department of Education is looking for organizations to partner with its Summer 2026 SUN Meals Program — a federally funded effort to provide free, nutritious meals for kids when school is out for the summer. Sponsors like schools, nonprofits, government agencies, camps, and faith-based groups can apply to serve meals and help ensure no child goes hungry this summer. If you’re interested in 2026 For ME instructional programs and summer training opportunities, there’s still time to learn more.
