"But as Maine schools find themselves in the middle of a political battle with the Trump administration, that federal support is at risk."
"Moody says federal funds help educate 'our most needy students. They're the backbone of our [academic] intervention system. They help students get on pace.'"
Jonathan Moody, who runs MSAD 54 in rural Maine, highlights the importance of federal grants for supporting education amidst challenges, particularly poverty. With 74 staff positions funded by these grants, they are essential for providing meals, special education, and after-school programs.

This situation underscores the risk to educational resources for vulnerable, low-income students as legal battles unfold.
