Please Note: Maine is one of only 10 states without public
charter schools
Maine children are certainly missing out!
Another legislative season will soon be underway, and MACS is
currently working to educate citizens and policy
makers about the importance of:
1) charter schools as a vehicle for public school choice.
2) charter schools as a vehicle for public school improvement.
3) related concepts such as funding the child's education, not
the system. |
