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. Registration is OPEN for EngageMEnt 2026–2027! Four Maine educators have been announced as state finalists for 2027 Maine Teacher of the Year. Abby McCoy, a Chemistry and Forensic Science Teacher at Lewiston High School ; Adrianne Shetenhelm, an English and Alternative Education Teacher at Windham High School; Gretchen Livingston, a Spanish Teacher at Cony Middle and High School; and Gina Welch, a Pre-K Teacher at Crescent Park School, were selected from the 2026 Maine County Teachers of the Year cohort to move forward in the Teacher of the Year process. A new chapter in Maine’s literacy and numeracy journey begins with action, collaboration, and celebration. Do you know a middle or high school student who is passionate about sustainability and wants to help make a difference in their school or community? Encourage them to join the Planning Team for the Green Schools Network Regional Gatherings! The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is now accepting nominations for the prestigious Recognizing Inspirational School Employees (RISE) Award for classified school employees. Maine educators from schools serving students pK-12 and higher education institutions gathered at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor from June 29 through July 1 for the 2026 Maine Department of Education (DOE) Summer Learning Institute, The Science of Learning: Developing Literate and Numerate Minds. What does summer learning look like when students are learning, exploring, and having fun? Students at three school-based organizations across Maine will have new opportunities to pursue credentials in early childhood education and healthcare beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, as a result of nearly $500,000 in Maine Career Pathways (MCP) funding.
