Legislative Update (2011-12)

 

History and Data

In response to regional needs and State/National trends, districts in the Western Maine area began the work necessary to form a non-profit corporation.  After two years of intense work, the foundations for governance and communication structures were in place and WMEC became a legal entity in August of 2006.  In 2010, a thorough review of the organization and its lessons learned, led to updated and revised legal documents including the By Laws and Interlocal Agreements.
Now in its sixth year, WMEC represents eleven member districts from 50 communities in four counties and over 14,000 students.

 

Purpose

The WMEC is a non-profit organization with membership from eleven school systems committed to building a sustainable regional collaborative that meets the needs of both the members and the organization.  By working together WMEC members, business and community partners strive to improve student performance through effective and efficient use of human, fiscal and technological resources.
