Superintendents from around the State that applied for the
Educational Efficiencies and Opportunities Grant, a grant designed to help
school districts in collaborative efforts, were invited to attend an announcement
of the grant winners during a Tuesday, April 4 grant award presentation in
Augusta.
During the announcement, Education Commissioner Bob Hasson
explained that a total of 7 grants out of the 21 statewide applicants had been
accepted as part of the State of Maine’s
EMBRACE initiative: Enabling Maine students to Benefit
from Regional And Coordinated approaches
to Education. One of the lucky winners was the “Right-Sizing
Upper St. John Valley” project that has been submitted in February as a
cooperative effort by MSAD33, MSAD27, and the Madawaska School Department.
