HSLDA | Maine Education Commissioner Tries To Adopt Regulation Without Authority The maine Commissioner of education has given public notice that he intends to adopt a regulation concerning nonapproved private schools. He does not, however, have any authority to do this. agencies only have power to adopt regulations if the legislature specifically gives them http://www.hslda.org/hs/state/me/200302110.asp
Extractions: State agencies only have power to adopt regulations if the legislature specifically gives them that power. The Maine legislature has not given power to the commissioner to adopt regulations for non-approved private schools. Regulations an agency adopts without having legislative authority are of no effect. We have written the Commissioner and explained this. The content of the proposed regulation is nearly identical to the current "Guidelines." The only significant change is that it adds "fine arts" and health as required subjects. With this change, the subjects required for a non-approved private school are the same as those for home instruction under Chapter 130.

Home School Access Law permission to post this article at this website given by the author Many of us have been homeschooling for years under Maine's Chapter 130, the rules for equivalent instruction through home instruction. We are a very diverse group, and it has been possible for us to practice home education without the state requiring that we conform to any single educational model or method. Homeschoolers have asserted their need to choose the educational approach that is most suitable for their unique situations, and the state has not objected to a relatively wide interpretation of the provisions of Chapter 130. It would be difficult to attempt a description of all the approaches to learning that can fit under the term home education. Furthermore, since home education is not merely another academic method, it cannot be classified or explained solely in academic terminology. Home education is about education, but it is also about meaning, about personal convictions, and about the comedy and drama of family life.

Guide To Special Education In Maine | Chapter 2 In 1997, Congress reauthorized the IDEA, which serves as the foundation upon which maine s Department of education Special education regulations (MSER) are http://www.somepa.org/publications/guide/chapter02/ch02_01.php
Extractions: Using the Guide Index Introduction Chapter 2 Parental rights and responsibilities are based on federal law that was first enacted in 1975. PL 94-142 was the landmark civil rights legislation passed by Congress in 1975 that stated that all children, including children with disabilities, are entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This legislation was titled the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHA). It has since been renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and encompasses services to children ages birth to 20. In 1997, Congress reauthorized the IDEA, which serves as the foundation upon which Maine's Department of Education Special Education Regulations (MSER) are based (both Chapters 101 and 180 ). The MSER reflect federal law by providing one set of regulations that govern services for preschool children ages birth through 5 (Chapter 180 Regulations) and a separate set of regulations that govern special education services for school-age children ages 5 to 20 (Chapter 101 Regulations). Early Intervention Services are designed to address the developmental needs of infants and toddlers with disabilities ages birth through 2. For children who continue to be eligible, these services may be followed by Special Education and Related Services for children ages 3 tthrough 5. The agency responsible for providing these services for eligible children in Maine is known as Child Development Services (CDS) through the Maine Department of Education (MDOE).
