24 This resolve provides $100,000 for each year in the 2026-2027 biennium to the Maine
25 Indian Education school district to develop and implement a Wabanaki-centered
26 curriculum for Native American high school students. It requires the Maine Indian
27 Education school district to administer a pilot program in coordination with state-approved
28 high schools throughout the State. The funds will be used for curriculum development,
29 staff, transportation and support services. The resolve also directs the Department of Education to coordinate with the Maine Indian Education school district to make available and disseminate, as appropriate, any Wabanaki-centered curriculum for Native American high school students to state-approved schools throughout the State. It requires the department and the superintendent to report to the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs on the dissemination of the curriculum and use of funds.
