The Maine rule

How Maine counts a lost day

Maine requires a 180 day school year with at least 175 days of instruction. The Commissioner may waive the minimum days on a school board's written application, but only after the district has tried every reasonable way to make the days up.

The Maine rules in the agency’s own words, and every Maine district
