Indigenous Peoples’ Day is October 12. This day recognizes the resilience, diversity, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples and provides an opportunity to center Indigenous voices, deepen our understanding of the impacts of colonization, and recognize the continued presence and leadership of Indigenous Peoples today.

The Maine DOE has curated resources to support teaching and learning about Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Wabanaki Nations. These resources can support meaningful learning throughout the year—not just on October 12.

Why reconfigure schools? (➡️ Swipe for Español, Français, Lingála, and Português)

Reconfiguring elementary schools could help make sure students have the optimized resources, support, and space they need to learn and grow. Reconfiguration can help balance enrollment and demographics, give equal access to educational supports, and use community resources wisely. With the closing of one elementary school, the time is now to explore these options.

Join the conversation: We invite you participate in our upcoming Community Forum and Listening Session to review and discuss reconfiguration options currently under consideration.
