Potential current biennium revenue decrease - Federal Expenditures Fund 
This legislation would delay the implementation of the Scholastic Aptitude Test as the statewide assessment program 
to measure and evaluate the academic achievement of grade 11 students until the 2006-2007 school year. The 
Department of Education indicates that it may not be possible to develop and administer the Maine Educational 
Assessment (MEA) or another alternative in the current (2005-2006) school year because of needed preparation time. 
If an assessment test is not administered to grade 11 students in the current school year, the State may be out of 
compliance with Federal requirements and Federal funds received by the State for assessment may be at risk. The 
State currently receives $4.0 million in Federal funds for assessments, with approximately $1.1 million used for 
testing grade 11 students.
