Bill > LD360

This bill provides targeted, one-time funding to support the Dirigo Reads literacy program through the Department of Education's School Finance and Operations initiative. Specifically, the bill allocates $100,000 from the General Fund in each of two fiscal years (2025-26 and 2026-27) to support this literacy program. The funding is explicitly designated as one-time support, which means the financial assistance is not intended to be a recurring annual allocation. The Dirigo Reads program, while not detailed in the bill text, appears to be a literacy-focused initiative in Maine aimed at improving reading skills, likely for students or specific community groups. By providing this targeted funding, the bill seeks to temporarily bolster the resources available to this literacy program, potentially supporting activities such as book acquisition, reading instruction, or literacy intervention strategies.
