Mission Statement

   The Mission of the State Board of Education is to provide statewide leadership by advocating, promoting and improving educational policy and life-long learning for all Maine citizens.  In particular in this rapidly changing 21st century, we are concerned that graduates of the Maine Pk-12 public school system have the skills and knowledge to be college ready, career ready, and citizenship ready.  The Board offers direction to the Executive and Legislative branches of state government; thus, fulfilling its statutory requirement.
