SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITMENT TO LEARNING RESULTS

The Lewiston School Committee hereby adopts the system of Learning Results and the Maine Department of Education’s applicable rules. 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 School Committee 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 School Committee understands that implementation of the Learning Results system has broad implications for the school unit, including curriculum, budget, professional development, student assessment, professional evaluation, and graduation requirements. Therefore, the School Committee is committed to examining its policies 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 School Committee, the Superintendent, administrators, teachers, parents, students, and the community.

The School Committee directs the Superintendent to develop a plan and timeline for implementing the Learning Results system.
