STUDENT ASSESSMENT

The RSU #74 Board recognizes that Maine law requires each school administrative unit to use multiple assessment methods to measure the student’s level of understanding and ability to apply standards in each of the content areas of the Learning Results and the cross-curricular Guiding Principles.  The RSU #74 Board also recognizes the value of assessment in informing and improving instruction.

Through this policy, the RSU #74 Board adopts and directs the superintendent to implement and oversee an assessment system for RSU #74 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.
