This page contains the public postings of all reports completed under MEPRI’s annual contract with the Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs, and is thus organized by contract year rather than topic. If you are looking for a particular report and do not see it please email Sharon Gerrish, sharonr@maine.edu for assistance.
MEPRI also compiles annual reports under contract to the Maine Department of Education for the purpose of reviewing components of the Essential Programs and Services (EPS) school funding formula. Those reports are posted publicly on the MDOE’s website.
