Overview
The Maine Town Tuitioning Program is the second-oldest school choice program in the US, founded in 1873. It allows students who live in Maine towns without their own public schools to attend a public or private school of their choice, with the town paying the tuition. The program was established to ensure that students in rural areas or small towns lacking local secondary education infrastructure still have access to schooling.
