To:  RSU #71 Parents and Community Members

Referencing:  Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Application

Federal funding is allotted to school districts throughout Maine through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Application.  Our district completes the application process, requesting funding for supplemental teaching services and Family Engagement opportunities (Title l) and professional development opportunities for staff and administrators (Title ll).  Funding for these projects is based on evidence of student needs using district and school data.

You are invited to attend the July 9th RSU #71 School Board Meeting at the Troy Howard Middle School at 5:30.  You will be provided with information about the projects identified in the RSU #71 ESEA application and  have the opportunity to share feedback on the use of federal funds in our district. The information shared will also be posted on the Title l webpage at www.rsu71.org under the Departments heading.  

If you are unable to attend and would like to share feedback, please feel free to contact me through e-mail. (lmiller@rsu71.org) or call at 338-1960.
