These were critical considerations, given the potential consequence of a loss of federal funding.'</p><p>"The Maine Department of Education says it's not signing the certification and is not collecting signed copies from schools.

Finally we’ll march up Congress Street during rush hour to the Portland Museum of Art to support funding for the arts and hold a final community rally starting around 5:00 pm.
