Dear Champions of Education,<br>
<br>
In partnership with Maine’s Child Development Services (CDS), we would like to share an important update regarding the realignment of Maine's CDS sites.<br>
<br>
In accordance with recently enacted legislation—and as part of continuing efforts to streamline services, enhance coordination with school administrative units (SAUs), and prepare for the full transition of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) responsibilities
to local districts—CDS will be restructuring its regional site boundaries to align with Maine’s existing superintendent geographical regions beginning on
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">August 11, 2025</span></strong>.<br>
<br>
Please use the link below to view an interactive map that shows the realigned CDS regional site boundaries:<br>

<br>
If you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule a conversation about the changes specific to your region, please contact Dan Hemdal, State Director for CDS, at
<a href="mailto:Dan.Hemdal@maine.gov"><span style="color:#336699">Dan.Hemdal@maine.gov</span></a>.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your continued partnership and shared commitment to ensuring every child in Maine receives the support they need to thrive.<br>
<br>
<br>
