School Department's presentation to the Town Council will be held on April 11, 2024.
This time on the Brunswick Buzz, Phil interviews Paula Gravelle. Paula is the Maine State Department of Education's Director of School Finance. We discuss the Maine's Essential Programs and Services (EPS) funding formula. The EPS determines both the state and local share of funding needed for each School Administrative Unit (SAU) to have Essential Programs and Services for public education. The funding formula is designed to respond to student needs based on years of research and information.
