Abstract
In 1997 The Essential Programs and Services (EPS) Committee of the State Board of Education was charged with identifying the resources needed for all Maine students to achieve the Maine Learning Results and to estimate the cost of providing those resources. The EPS committee noted supplies and equipment were necessary to support school personnel in instruction, curriculum, student and staff services, and school administrative functions and thus included supplies and equipment as a component of the EPS cost model. Examples of school supplies and equipment expenditures include but are not limited to: instructional supplies, books, periodicals, equipment used in classrooms and school offices, repairs, communications, dues and fees. Supplies and equipment for district services are funded through their respective district-level EPS components rather than this school-level component.
