缅因州学校入学率在2025-26年下降了2 134人,由于每个学生的经费,预算紧张。 Maine school enrollment drops 2,134 in 2025-26, straining budgets due to per-pupil funding.

缅因州学校各区学生入学率持续下降,2025-26年学生人数减少2 134人,比十年前减少11 994人,原因是出生率降低、人口下降和学校选择增加。 Maine school districts are experiencing a continued decline in student enrollment, with 2,134 fewer students in 2025-26 and 11,994 fewer than a decade ago, driven by lower birth rates, population decline, and increased school choice. 这一趋势使州立学生人均资助模式下的县预算紧张,尽管固定成本仍然很高,但随着入学率下降,援助也减少。 This trend strains district budgets under the state’s per-pupil funding model, which reduces aid as enrollment drops, even as fixed costs remain high. 一些区正在通过替代收入和外联来适应变化,而另一些区则面临过度拥挤问题。 Some districts are adapting through alternative revenue and outreach, while others face overcrowding. 专家警告说,如果没有合并或修订供资制度等改革,许多学校就会面临长期资源不足的风险,因为全国入学率下降幅度较大。 Experts warn that without reforms like consolidation or a revised funding system, many schools risk long-term under-resourcing amid broader national enrollment declines.
