SAD 11 mulls 'pointed recommendations'
Kennebec Journal, January 17, 2007
(excerpt) A committee specially formed to review the educational experiences of students at Gardiner Regional Middle School and Gardiner Area High School will reveal its findings to school board members tonight.
The report's findings and recommendations offer an "intense inward look" at multiple aspects of middle and high school students' experiences in School Administrative District 11, according to the report. SAD 11 serves Gardiner, West Gardiner, Pittston and Randolph.
"It is a very extensive piece of work," Superintendent Paul Knowles said Tuesday. "Not many school systems go to the amount of time and effort we have with this."
An academic audit committee of administrators, teachers, school board members, parents and two education experts from the University of Maine formed in 2006. The committee examined ideas on education reform, reviewed the district's academic performance data and interviewed staff members and students and analyzed the findings. A smaller subgroup compiled the report.
The report authors did not shy away from making recommendations on how to change the school system for the better.
"There's some pretty pointed recommendations," Knowles said.
