Federal funds in Maine schools
Nearly all federal education spending will be cut by 8.2 percent starting Jan. 2, 2013, unless Congress and President Obama can agree to a deal to avert sequestration.
The resulting loss of $4.1 billion in education funding would trickle down to local Maine school districts by the 2013-14 school year and would be especially hard on districts with large numbers of low-income students or those with disabilities.
This table, with dollar amounts from the current fiscal year provided by the Maine Department of Education, shows which Maine school districts receive the most federal funding and thus would be most affected by sequestration.
The state average is $613.67 per student.
