The Maine Department of Education is hosting regional forums to gather input from administrators, educators, parents, school board members, and community members on the regulations for the implementation of Maine Learning Results. To develop changes needed for Chapter 125: Basic Approval Standards: Public Schools and School Administrative Units and Chapter 127: Instructional Program, Assessment and Diploma Requirements they are asking for feedback.
The framework is based on the following premises:

-All students should aspire to high levels of learning;
-Achievement should be assessed in a variety of ways; and
-Completion of public school should have common meaning throughout the State.
