Maine, home of high preschool expulsion, looks to fix that
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Maine Legislature is trying to reduce down on suspensions and expulsions of scholars throughout early childhood.
Maine has the second-highest fee of preschool scholar expulsion within the nation. The Legislature is contemplating a invoice that may broaden a pilot program already in use in half the state’s counties.
This system makes psychological well being and baby growth consultants out there to academics, baby care suppliers and fogeys. A invoice earlier than the Legislature would take this system statewide. Each homes of the Legislature have permitted the proposal however it faces additional votes earlier than it may be enacted.
Invoice presenter Sen. Cathy Breen, a Democrat from Falmouth, mentioned this system would supply “academics and baby care suppliers with a research-based and compassionate method to managing behavioral points.” This system offers the providers for gratis.
