Extractions: Info Events Technical Services Certification Services ... Organic Food The Maine Board of Pesticides Control has proposed new regulations regarding indoor pesticide applications of occupied buildings including rented residential buildings, condominiums, licensed childcare facilities and nursery schools, and commercial and institutional buildings. These follow upon earlier rules promulgated for K-12 schools. The rules require the application of integrated pest management techniques including assessment of infestation before application, and use of less toxic alternatives for commercial indoor applications. They also give residential tenants the right to object to pesticide applications unless the infestation poses health risks and alternative control measures have failed. The MOFGA Public Policy Committee believes these are very important steps forward and should be strongly supported. Substantial opposition is expected from some restaurants and other business owners, and strong support from the public will help enact these rules. The rules also provide for notification to building occupants and visitors under certain limited circumstances. For the reasons set forth in MOFGAs testimony pasted below, we believe these provisions are inadequate and should be improved.

Extractions: Today's Globe Politics Opinion Magazine ... K-12 January 20, 2005 Pupils who are native speakers of languages other than English in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire soon will begin taking new standardized tests designed to prove their understanding of English is improving. ADVERTISEMENT The new test has five levels, and a child eventually must pass all five to be considered proficient. Maine will assess about 3,200 pupils from kindergarten through grade 12, New Hampshire about 3,500, and Vermont about 1,200. Those assessed will include the children of immigrants, adopted children and children of foreign workers. Christine Noon, a New Hampshire Department of Education consultant for English as a second language, said the test will monitor pupil progress toward meeting education requirements adopted throughout New England. "We really needed something that aligned with academic standards," Noon said. "This is one test that is based on standards. It's not like the standards have been retrofitted to the test." The test was designed by a 10-state consortium and has oral and written parts. It will be administered in the spring in Maine, Vermont and Alabama. New Hampshire officials will administer the test in 2006.
Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... K-12 March 28, 2005 PORTLAND, Maine School districts in Maine are scrambling to fill superintendent vacancies amid a growing shortage of education administrators. ADVERTISEMENT School districts a decade ago could expect 30 or more applicants for a superintendent's job, but nowadays they're lucky to get a dozen, said Dale Douglass, executive director of the Maine School Management Association. Over the past three years, about 30 of the 155 superintendent jobs statewide have opened up annually, Douglass said. The trend is fueled by a generation of educators who are reaching retirement age and new stresses that make the job less desirable than in the past. The shortage is driving up salaries and causing some districts to entice superintendents from other school districts in Maine and look beyond the state's borders for qualified applicants. Some superintendents are being asked to come out of retirement. The Eliot-South Berwick School Administrative District 35 superintendent search committee came up nearly empty-handed after advertising in major New England daily newspapers, a national education magazine and several local newspapers. The committee reopened the search this month hoping to get more responses. Helen Cass, head of the school board and a member of the search committee, said it is clear to her that the number of candidates is shrinking in part because of the stresses of the job. In her district, the superintendent oversees a $26 million budget and the education of 2,700 students.

Extractions: About Bates Academics Admissions Student Life ... Faculty Grants and Teaching Support Bates Science and Math Education Partnership Grants Bates Science and Math Education Partnership Grants sponsored by Bates College and funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. DEADLINE for Submission: 15 March 2006 The Bates Science and Math Education Partnership Grant Program has two goals: to enhance science and math education in under-resourced K-12 schools in Maine, and to encourage more Bates students to consider precollege science and math teaching as a career. It has been our experience that both of these goals can be met through ongoing, collaborative partnerships among K-12 teachers, Bates faculty, and Bates students. The Idea Behind Bates Science and Mathematics Education Partnership Grants The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is one of the country's largest private scientific institutions. The work of the Institute focuses on all fields of science, biomedical research, and medicine, including science education. Bates College has received several HHMI grants to enhance science and mathematics education at the college level, and this support has made the Bates science program an exceptional one. HHMI funds are also available through Bates for curricular improvements at the pre-college level, to help cultivate the next generation of scientists. The Bates Science and Math Education Partnership Grant Program offers Maine K-12 schools support for equipment purchases, curriculum development, and other initiatives that will improve math and science teaching and learning, while enhancing partnerships with Bates.
