In advance of the 132nd Legislative Session, MSSA Legislative Staff have created a Legislative Dashboard, which we hope will be a comprehensive resource for news and information on Maine education policy.

You can find the page by clicking on the button to the right. The page includes weekly legislative bulletins from MSSA legislative staff, video and audio updates, as well as trainings, legislative calendars, links to particular bills of interest, and contact information for lawmakers and the legislature's Education Committee.

This page is password-protected. Please reach out to Robbie Feinberg at rfeinberg@msmaweb.com if you need the password.
