Graduate Student Op-Ed About Extended School Year
An op-ed piece written by a UMaine graduate student was published in the Bangor Daily News. Elissa Rowe, who is also a social worker, advocated for support of LD 18, An Act to Extend the School Year in which the school year would go from 180 days to 185 days. Rowe writes that Maine is behind other states and countries in terms of length of school year, and that some special children regress during longer summer vacations.
