RE: LD 1424 – Briefing Sessions Scheduled Around the State
Yesterday morning each of you should have received Informational Letter #124 –
Education Committee Vote on LD 1424, An Act to Simplify Implementation of the Learning Results – in which I promised that we would be scheduling briefing sessions around the State, beginning next week, to both clarify and answer any questions that you may have about LD 1424, An Act to Simplify Implementation of the Learning Results.
Please join me at any of the following locations:

May 24, 2005 |
1:00 – 3:00pm |

I realize that these briefing sessions are being scheduled on short notice. However, I am committed to meeting with you to answer your questions and clarify the impact of this mid-course adjustment as outlined in LD 1424. We have secured locations in various parts of the State in the hope that you would be able to attend a briefing session in your area or a session which fits into your busy calendar. Please join me if you can.
In the meantime, I wish to thank all of you who attended the public hearings and work sessions in Augusta. The voices from the field played a critical role in shaping the final outcome of the Education Committee’s deliberations. My hope is that the changes described in LD 1424, which stem from the lessons learned in the first phase of Learning Results implementation, will genuinely enhance our efforts to see that the Learning Results are achieved by all Maine students.
This is an open meeting and so no RSVPs are necessary.
