LD 1769 Maine House · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act Concerning Students Who Experience Educational Disruption Due To Temporary Or Permanent Changes Where They Live

This bill amends an existing law to provide funding for a new state position dedicated to helping students facing educational disruptions. The added funds will support a program manager who establishes a network of liaisons to assist children experiencing homelessness, unstable housing, foster care placement, hospitalization, or incarceration. These liaisons will work directly with families and schools to ensure these students maintain access to education during times of crisis. The legislation allocates specific budget amounts for the position and related operational costs for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscal years.
