MEPRI urges reindexing of Maines school funding formula; reindex could cost about $37.4 million MEPRI told the Legislatures education committee that reindexing the EPS regional adjustment to a minimum-based, cost-of-living measure would correct a misalignment created when the state adopted a $40,000 minimum teacher salary; a FY26 simulation shows a roughly $37.4 million state-share cost, and MEPRI proposed pairing the reindexing with modest income-based redistribution (a 90/10 model) to target aid to higher-poverty districts.
