The MidCoast proposal is for a network of two to four linked MFES sites, using the MidCoast Superintendents Collaborative as a vehicle for developing “dollars-follow-the-student” funding. Several local superintendents are willing to champion the idea. This enables us to develop a single budget and proposal that could eventually go as far south as Cumberland and as far north/east as Belfast, while easily incorporating our existing community conversations in Bowdoinham, Wiscasset, Waldoboro, and Damariscotta.
