Delaying the
termination date of the Maine School for Marine Science, Technology,
Transportation and Engineering from 90 days after the adjournment of the
First Regular Session of the 129th Legislature to 90 days after adjournment
of the Second Regular Session of the 129th Legislature will extend the
State's responsibility for funding a portion of the costs for Maine students
to attend the school through the 2019-2020 school year. However, because Public Law 2019, Chapter
343, the 2020-2021 biennial budget, includes $109,206 for the Maine School
for Marine Science, Technology, Transportation and Engineering as part of the
targeted education funding component included in the total cost of funding
public education from kindergarten to grade 12 for fiscal year 2019-20, no
additional funding is required as a result of this legislation. |
