The Education Committee of the Maine legislature will hold a public hearing on May 3 to discuss a new bill to allow charter schools in the state. Sponsored by Senator Carol Weston, “An Act to Permit Charter Schools in Maine,” would allow up to 20 new charter schools in 10 years. Each charter school would operate on a renewable five-year contract with a public chartering authority. The Maine State Board of Education recommended a pilot program of public charter schools to the Education Committee in January 2004. The proposed bill reflects those recommendations.
