Three Maine school districts will benefit from $200,000 grants from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation to develop programs that better prepare students for life after high school.

The recipients are the Sanford School Department, Maine School Administrative District 60 in North Berwick and Jobs for Maine’s Graduates, which will develop the programs in Portland high schools with help from LearningWorks.

The money will be used to plan and design student-centered educational program that meet the needs of all learners.
