Hi,

Commissioner Bowen's office is sending out a weekly update via email -
more information about what it is and how to join are copied in below.  I
find it an easy way to keep up with what's going on.

This past week's update highlighted the MLTI Student conference - here's a
link to the story, very supportive of MLTI! [ http://ht.ly/58Wk5

To streamline the many communications from the Maine Department of
Education, we have developed a new weekly Commissioner’s Update that
includes official correspondence, reporting requirements, news and
information designed for superintendents, business managers, and other
administrators, but available by subscription to anyone.

(Please note the Commissioner’s Update takes the place of the
Administrative Letters and Informational Letters of past practice. This is
the only way to receive updates on requirements, policy changes, and forms
and other reporting requirements that are due.)

We encourage you to share this invitation to subscribe with all district
personnel, including administrators, school board members, teachers, as
well as parents, taxpayers, and anyone interested in education in Maine.
