ladders for educators and report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by December 6, 2023.
This amendment eliminates the ongoing General Fund appropriations of $1,000,000 per year included in the bill
beginning in fiscal year 2024-25 to the Educational and General Activities program within the University of Maine
System to support the Maine Teacher Residency Program at the University of Southern Maine and instead provides a
