Elon Musk’s plan to gut the U.S. Department of Education has far-reaching ramifications for public schools in Maine.
Our schools receive funding for reading and math specialists who work with students who need extra support. If that funding is cut, so is that help for those students.
Our schools receive funding for meals for students. If that funding is cut, so are those meals.
Our schools receive funding for special education teachers. If that funding is cut, so are those teachers and those programs.
Musk’s plan to gut the U.S. Department of Education hurts our kids the most.
