SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITMENT TO LEARNING
RESULTS
MSAD #9 hereby adopts
Maine’s system of Learning Results. The Learning Results system is
intended to serve as a foundation for education reform and to promote
and provide assessment of student learning, accountability and equity.
The Board recognizes that the legislative intent of the learning results
system is to provide children with schools that reflect high
expectations and create conditions where these expectations can be met.
The Board understands
that implementation of the Learning Results system and the mandate to
provide all students with equitable opportunities to meet the content
standards of the system of Learning Results have broad implications for
the school unit, including curriculum, budget, professional development,
student assessment, professional evaluation, and graduation
requirements. Therefore, the Board is committed to examining its
policies and school system practices to ensure that they are consistent
with the intent and goals of the learning results system. This will
require a concerted and coordinated effort involving the Board, the
Superintendent, administrators, teachers, parents, students, and the
community.
The Board directs the
Superintendent to develop a plan and timeline for implementing the
learning results system, and any appropriate administrative procedures.
The Board further directs the Superintendent to report to the Board on
an annual regular basis on progress toward implementing the Learning
Results system.
