An Act To Provide Educational Opportunities For Students In Secondary Schools With 200 Or Fewer Students

LD 512 allows students in Maine secondary schools with 200 or fewer students to enroll in another school district. Parents must notify their home district by April 1st and provide the receiving school's acceptance letter by May 1st. The receiving district bills the home district for tuition based on the state's per-student funding rate, capped at the maximum allowable tuition. This change enables small-school students to access broader educational options within Maine's public school system.
