Essential Programs & Services Funding Model

Essential Programs & Services is designed to insure that all schools have the programs and resources that are essential for all students to have an equitable opportunity to achieve Maine's Learning Results.

The EPS model provides a basis for adequacy and greater equity in the funding of K-12 education because it is cost driven instead of expenditure driven.

The following links provide funding information for each School Administrative Unit and General EPS Funding information by fiscal year.
