[Local-Maine-Schools] High School Diploma Standards Bill

[Gail Marshall]

Hello All,

I would urge you all to take a look at another bouncing ball that is  
heading before the Education Committee next week pertaining to  
changing high school curriculum.
The text of the bill is here: http://janus.state.me.us/legis/ 
LawMakerWeb/externalsiteframe.asp? 
ID=280027886&LD=2174&Type=1&SessionID=7

The Ed Committee schedule is here: http://mdischools.net/ 
20080303-07_EdCommte_SCHEDULE.htm

DOE's web site about "21st Century Learning" is here: http:// 
www.state.me.us/education/21stcentury/index.html

It includes a 30 minute video speech by Commissioner Gendron as well  
as a transcript of the same.

I am not going to editorialize about this at this time beyond the  
obvious implications of my having sent this red flag to you.  You  
might want to consider carefully the implications of what might be  
going on here.

Thanks,

Gail Marshall
Union 98 RPC chair
Mount Desert Island High School board chair
