Education Week: Education Issues Bidding for Voters' Attention


Education Week: Education Issues Bidding for Voters' Attention:

Voters in Maine, for instance, will consider measures with big implications for public schools, including a proposal to repeal a 2007 law requiring consolidation of many small school districts and an initiative designed to rein in state and local spending that could constrain education aid."
