AGUSTA, MAINE (AP)- Reopening Maine’s K-12 schools could cost at least $328 million to deal with the coronavirus, Maine’s top education official said.
Education Commissioner Pender Makin said additional costs for reopening include more staffing, buses, protective gear and other changes.
She emphasized that the figure is an estimate. The Maine Department of Education has said that officials in Augusta, not local school boards, will make the call about reopening schools.
