The superintendent of Gorham schools and the Yarmouth High School principal are leaving this week for China.
Gorham Superintendent Ted Sharp and Yarmouth Principal Ted Hall said the purpose of their two-week-long trip is to continue building relationships between their schools and ones in Beijing.
Sharp and Hall will travel with a group of American educators, led by the China Exchange Initiative of Newton, Mass. That program and the trip are funded by the Freeman Foundation.
The Gorham and Yarmouth school districts each hosted an administrator from a Chinese school in December.
Both Sharp and Hall said they hope students and teachers from their schools eventually will visit the Chinese schools, too, and that Chinese students and teachers will come to Maine.
