Delaying the
termination date of the Maine School for Marine Science, Technology,
Transportation and Engineering from 90 days after the adjournment of the
Second Regular Session of the 129th Legislature to 90 days after adjournment
of the Second Regular Session of the 131st Legislature will extend the
State's responsibility for funding a portion of the costs for Maine students
to attend the school through the 2023-2024 school year. LD 2126, the Governor's proposed emergency
supplemental budget for fiscal years 2019-20 and 2020-21, includes $132,316
for the Maine School for Marine Science, Technology, Transportation and
Engineering as part of the targeted education funding component included in
the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 for
fiscal year 2020-21. If LD 2126 is
approved by the Legislature, no additional funding will be required for the
2020-2021 biennium as a result of this legislation. If funding for the school is not approved
as part of the supplemental budget, this fiscal note will need to be
revised. Funding to support the cost
for Maine students to attend the school through the 2023-2024 school year
will need to be included as part of the Department of Education's biennial
budget request for the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 biennia. |
