]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Maine Charter School Commission has given itself a July 1 deadline to decide whether to approve proposals for charter schools.</p>
<p>That deadline leaves any group that plans to a start a school this September with only 60 days to recruit students, hire teachers and prepare classrooms.</p>
<p>As a result, only one or two schools will be able to open in Maine in 2012, said Commissioner Donald Mordecai, speaking before about 50 people at Deering High School on Monday. <a href="http://www.pressherald.com/news/deadline-limits-charter-schools-opening-in-fall_2012-03-06.html"target="_blank">Read More&#8230;</a></p>
