For more than three decades, the Belfast Community Outreach Program in Education (BCOPE), part of RSU 71, serving Belfast, Belmont, Morrill, Searsmont, and Swanville, has helped students reconnect with learning through strong relationships, flexibility, and community-based support. Don't miss "Your Brain, Your Life – Foundations of Thinking and Learning" at the Maine DOE Annual Summit! This engaging, interactive session explores how the brain makes sense of the world, why stories shape perception, the important role errors play in learning, and practical strategies educators can use to foster deeper thinking and active learning in the classroom. Seventeen middle school students from five Maine schools recently competed in the inaugural Maine State Finals of the National Civics Bee (hosted by the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce), showcasing their civic knowledge, leadership, and creative solutions to real-world community challenges. From essays addressing local issues to live competition, these students demonstrated the power of civic engagement and thoughtful problem-solving. Join us at the 2026 Maine DOE Annual Summit for the "What's Changing in EPS School Funding – and Why It Matters" session to learn about upcoming changes to Maine's Essential Programs and Services (EPS) school funding model. There's still time to join us at the 2026 Maine DOE Annual Summit on July 29 at Thomas College! School transportation professionals from across Maine are gathered this week at the Augusta Civic Center for the 53rd Annual Maine Association for Pupil Transportation (MAPT) School Transportation Safety Conference & Trade Show. Located within Windham High School, RSU 14’s Katahdin Program provides students from Windham and Raymond with an alternative learning environment centered on hands-on instruction, outdoor learning, community partnerships, and strong relationships with staff. Through individualized support and experiential learning opportunities, the program helps students reconnect with school, complete graduation requirements, and build pathways toward future success. At Camden Hills Regional High School, part of Five Town Community School District (CSD), an off-site alternative education learning community is redefining what high school can look like for students seeking a more personalized, project-based path. The Maine Department of Education (DOE), in partnership with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) from eligible organizations for the Maine Healthcare Careers Exploration Program. This program seeks to build sustainable career pipeline programming to support rural Maine youth in grades 9-12 in exploring healthcare occupation opportunities, acquiring foundational skills, and creating meaningful connections with healthcare professionals and employers through relevant high school instruction, postsecondary enrollment, and workforce development opportunities in Maine.
