  • Maine - GEER Initial Report
    Maine - GEER Initial Report 6/08/2020 Summary The State of Maine, through our Department of Education, Department of Economic and Community Development, and Department of Administrative and Financial Services – and with input from statewide education stakeholders - developed our plan for using the Governors’ Emergency Education Relief funds to ensure universal connectivity to the internet for all Maine students. Our process included meetings with educators, school leaders, superintendents, our statewide Student Cabinet to the DOE, where we discussed and prioritized the negative impacts from the coronavirus disruption to our education system. In every stakeholder focus group, the same grave concern rose to the top of the prioritized list: lack of connectivity for many students in our mostly rural state. While schools and teachers began offering remote learning to their students, there were pockets of students who were fully isolated from their educational programs due to lack of internet access. What we had considered to be a concerning inequity prior to the declaration of a state of emergency and the closing of school buildings to in-person instruction became more like a humanitarian crisis. The state also partnered with charitable organizations and community partners to support Maine’s SAUs and schools that were most significantly impacted by COVID-19 to continue to provide educational services to Maine students. Process for identifying and prioritized needs: The Maine Department of Education conducted a connectivity needs assessment through a series of four surveys that were issued to building principals, technology directors, superintendents, and Maine’s public-private school leaders statewide between March 16, 2020 and May 8, 2020.

We, then, the editors of this year's Stag, wish to dedicate our year­ book, not to the principles themselves, however, but to a modern, living embodiment of those principles. The "new" words of modern orators must bring a smile of satisfaction to the lips of Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman, secretary to our Dean, for Mrs. East­ man has been living the words and concepts of these speech-makers to the letter, all her life. Adequately occupied with her secretarial duties, Mrs. Eastman has never once passed off extra work that might make the sledding a little easier for others.
