Maine Representative Kristen Cloutier Introduces Bill to Better Fund Education for Impoverished Students

Idea Category: Education

Maine Representative Kristen Cloutier introduced a bill that would push more education funding to students experiencing poverty or homelessness. The bill would modify the state’s funding formula to provide more funding to local districts with higher numbers of impacted students. This move comes after Maine students, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged, performed poorly on last year’s state testing.
