Birth to Age Twenty (MUSER) in an effort to align MUSER language with current federal language (34 CFR 300 and 34 CFR 303). Much has changed since the last update in 2017 and, as a first step in this process, the Department of Education would like to invite
regional participants to share their thoughts on the rule chapter in a series of conceptual conversations. These conversations will not pertain to the Emergency rule change in Section XVIII. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#505050">The Department intends to take the following steps with respect to review of this chapter: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#505050">We will hold three regional conceptual conversations across the state and will have Zoom links available for participants who are unable
to attend in person. Stakeholders are invited to attend and provide input. These conversations will be facilitated by the Maine Department of Education Director of the Office of Special Services and Inclusive Education, Erin Frazier, along with the DOE Rulemaking
liaison Laura Cyr. Other DOE members may join the conversations as their schedules allow. These conversations will be guided by the following discussion prompts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
