On March 3, 2010, the RSU2 School Board established the Standards-Based System Ad Hoc Committee with the purpose “To assist the RSU communities and staff in successfully achieving a Standards- Based, Student-Centered School System.”  This committee consisted of parents, teachers, administrators, and high school students from each community in RSU 2.  The first meeting was held March 29, 2010. 

A primary accomplishment of this committee was the development of the shared vision for RSU2.  Over 200 people from every town in RSU2 participated in shared visioning meetings between April and November 2010.  Key questions considered by meeting participants were:

What do we want our students to know and be able to do upon graduation? What should our schools be like? What skills do our students need to be successful in the 21st Century?

In January, 2011, the RSU2 School Board approved the Ad Hoc Committee’s recommendation for the RSU2 vision statement to be:
“The vision of RSU2 is to be a system of student-centered learning.”  Although this is a simple statement, the bullets following this statement explain the deep changes needed for our schools to become truly student-centered.
