RSEC to Conduct Independent Review of Maine’s Funding System

Working with Lawrence O. Picus and Associates, RSEC is a partner in performing Equity, Adequacy and School Resource Studies for the Maine Office of Program Evaluation & Government Accountability. These studies seek to analyze whether 1) Maine meets traditional equity standards of school funding, 2) the Essential Program and Services (EPS) formula provides adequate resources for all students to achieve proficiency in the Common Core Standards, and 3) the current spending patterns and instructional strategies in high academic growth schools exhibit similarities.
