Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 3: ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
Chapter 222: STANDARDS AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE (HEADING: PL 2001, c. 454, @26 (rpr))
§6201. Legislative intent
The Legislature concurs with the recommendation of the 1984 report of the Commission on the Status of Education in Maine that
a state-wide educational assessment program be implemented.
[1983, c. 859, Pt. D, §§3, 4 (new).]
div>
There is a need for assessment information at both the state and local level to measure progress and ensure accountability
regarding the system of learning results, which must be accomplished through a comprehensive system of local and state assessments,
involving multiple measures to determine what each student knows and is able to demonstrate regarding the standards of the
system of learning results.
[2001, c. 454, §27 (amd).]
div>
This comprehensive local and state assessment system must have the following objectives:
[2001, c. 454, §27 (amd).]
1. State-wide assessment. To provide information on the academic achievement and progress of Maine students;
[1983, c. 859, Pt. D, §§3, 4 (new).]
2. State goals. To establish a process for a continuing evaluation of the system of learning results established in section 6209 and to
aid in the development of educational policies, standards and programs;
[2001, c. 454, §28 (amd).]
3. Local programs. To provide school officials with information to assess the quality, effectiveness and appropriateness of educational materials,
methods and curriculum needs, including remediation and enrichment in their schools;
[1983, c. 859, Pt. D, §§3, 4 (new).]
4. Individual students. To provide school staffs with information about the individual students that may be used, with other information, to meet
individual and educational needs of the student. The statewide assessment program may not be the only criteria for judging
student performance;
[2001, c. 454, §28 (amd).]
5. Trends. To identify year-to-year trends in student achievement; and
[1983, c. 859, Pt. D, §§3, 4 (new).]
6. Parents. To provide parents with information about the achievements of their children on the assessment program.
[1983, c. 859, Pt. D, §§3, 4 (new).]

§6202-A. Local assessment system established; content
Each school administrative unit shall establish a local assessment system to measure student achievement of the learning results
established in section 6209. Local assessments may include portfolios, performances and demonstrations in addition to other
measures of achievement. Commercially produced assessment tools may be part of a local assessment system but may not carry
a majority of the weight in determining student performance. The local assessment system must be implemented as follows.
[2001, c. 454, §30 (new).]
1. Technical assistance. During the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 school years, the department shall provide technical assistance to school administrative
units in developing local assessment systems and setting standards for local assessment systems. By the end of the 2003-2004
school year, the superintendent of each school administrative unit shall certify to the commissioner that the local assessment
system meets these standards.

to the high school diploma awarded pursuant to section 4722. The awarding of the learning results endorsements must be determined
by student achievement of the standards of the system of learning results in English language arts, health and physical education,
mathematics, science and technology and social studies, based on the school administrative unit's local assessment system
established pursuant to this section in addition to other requirements as established by school board policy.
A. By the 2009-2010 school year, learning results endorsements may be awarded to students who, at a minimum, demonstrate achievement

education based on the school administrative unit's local assessment system.
[2005, c. 446, §4 (new).]
C. By the 2011-2012 school year, the awarding of learning results endorsements must be determined by student achievement of
the standards of the system of learning results in each of the 8 content areas of the system of learning results based on
the school administrative unit's assessment system.
[2005, c. 446, §4 (new).]
Beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, the commissioner shall recommend to the Legislature annual targets for the percentage
of students to whom school administrative units may award diplomas based on the awarding of credits and the percentage of
students receiving learning results endorsements in addition to the high school diploma awarded pursuant to section 4722.
Beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, school administrative units must include in their annual basic school approval
reports to the commissioner the percentage of students receiving learning results endorsements.
[2005, c. 446, §4 (amd).]
4. Graduation decisions at certain private high schools; learning results endorsements; annual targets. Beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, the option of learning results endorsements in addition to the high school diploma
awarded pursuant to section 4722 may also be provided for publicly funded students in private schools approved for tuition
that enroll at least 60% publicly funded students, as determined by the previous school year's October and April average enrollment.
The awarding of learning results endorsements must be determined by student achievement of the standards of the system of
learning results in English language arts, health and physical education, mathematics, science and technology and social studies,
in addition to other requirements that may be established by the trustees.
A. By the 2009-2010 school year, learning results endorsements may be awarded to students who, at a minimum, demonstrate achievement

§6202. State assessment program established; content
The commissioner shall establish a statewide assessment program to measure and evaluate on a continuing basis the academic
achievements of students at grades 4, 8 and 11 in the content areas of the system of learning results established in section
6209 specified by the commissioner. The commissioner may elect to provide for the use of alternative measures of student
achievement in grade 11. This assessment applies to students in the public elementary and secondary schools and in all private
schools approved for tuition whose school enrollments include at least 60% publicly-funded students, as determined by the
previous school year's October and April average enrollment. The assessment program must be adapted to meet the needs of
exceptional students as defined in section 7001, subsection 2 or other students as defined under rules by the commissioner.

a school administrative unit of regional special education or regional alternative education programs or schools approved
by the commissioner in accordance with section 2501 or section 7253. For these programs or schools, the results may be interpreted
by assigning the student and the scores of the student to the school in the community where the student resides. The commissioner
shall adopt rules to implement this subsection. Rules adopted pursuant to this subsection are routine technical rules as
defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.

Part 3: ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
Chapter 222: STANDARDS AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE (HEADING: PL 2001, c. 454, @26 (rpr))
§6208. Legislative intent
The Legislature finds that because all children can learn at significantly higher levels, it is essential that the Legislature,
the State Board of Education, the Department of Education, school administrative units, educators and parents provide children
with schools that reflect high expectations and create conditions where these expectations can be met. Through a shared sense
of accountability and a cooperative spirit among State Government, school administrative units, educators, parents, business
persons, and the community, school administrative units and educators can develop and teach to high standards that will enable
students to become productive and fulfilled members of society. The Legislature further finds that the system of learning
results established in section 6209 will serve as a foundation for education reform, will promote assessment of student learning,
will reinforce accountability and will encourage equity. The Legislature, therefore, encourages the State Board of Education,
the Department of Education and school administrative units to employ a high degree of creativity in developing content standards
and performance indicators and to explore a wide range of programs and options so that the standards adopted will reflect
the highest possible expectations and assessments will be of the highest possible quality. The ultimate goal and intent of
the Legislature is to ensure that the State's schools will enable today's students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary
to be effective parents, citizens, workers and adults.
