STUDENT ASSESSMENT 

The School Committee recognizes that Maine law requires each school administrative district to use multiple assessment methods to measure student achievement in the content areas of the Learning Results, and the cross-curricular Guiding Principles. The School Committee also recognizes the value of assessment in informing and improving instruction.

Through this policy, the School Committee adopts and directs the Superintendent/designee to implement and oversee an assessment system for Lewiston Public Schools that will accomplish these objectives. The Superintendent shall be responsible for reviewing the assessment system for compliance with applicable statutes and Department of Education standards.
