Approved by the Orono Board of Education — July 11, 1988 MISSION STATEMENT The Board of Education of School District 278 recognizes its responsibilities to the residents of the communities served and acknowledges the continuing support of the citizens. The most fundamental of those responsibilities mandates the development and implementation of a sound educational program which promotes intellectual curiosity and assists each student to reach his/her potential. As such, the curriculum seeks to meet the seeds of individual students by means of a challenging and coordinated program of studies based on the instructional goals of the District. The curriculum is implemented by each teacher's respon- sible selection and use of sound methods of instruction. Additionally, the educational responsibilities of the Board of Education require that self -development opportunities be available to all residents. This is accomplished through a program of Community Education. In order to meet its educational responsibilities, the Board of Education is dedicated to continued growth and learning for all who serve district students: staff members, teachers, administrators, and members of the Board of Education. The stated instructional goals, lis'ed in priority order, define more specifi- cally the mission of School District 278 and its educational commitment. The goals are promoted within established fiscal policies according to the priori- ties, limitations, and obligations of the School District.
