Funding

How Maine funds schools

Maine funds schools through the Essential Programs and Services (EPS) model, which calculates each school unit’s cost of delivering the programs students need to meet state standards from pupil counts, weighted add-ons and per-pupil rates; the state share is that total minus each unit’s required local contribution (set by town property wealth and a mill-rate expectation). By a 2004 voter mandate the state funds 55% of the statewide EPS total.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Trenton Public Schools are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability
