An Act To Provide Grants To Promote Innovative Learning Strategies

This bill directs the Maine Department of Education to distribute $2 million in grants over two years to school districts for implementing innovative learning strategies. The funds aim to help close achievement gaps by prioritizing schools that partner with professional organizations or universities and provide data on improving outcomes for economically disadvantaged students, racial and ethnic minorities, and those impacted by pandemic restrictions. The legislation appropriates $2,000,000 for the 2023-24 fiscal year and another $2,000,000 for 2024-25 to support these educational initiatives.
