Board approves new Mesolonsky Middle School math program after teacher‑driven review
Summary
Following a teacher‑led evaluation and curriculum‑committee recommendation, the RSU 18 board unanimously approved a new math program for Mesolonsky Middle School and emphasized professional development to support implementation.
The RSU 18 board unanimously approved a new math program for Mesolonsky Middle School after members who attended the curriculum presentation praised the teacher‑driven selection and extensive instructional resources.
Board members who reviewed the materials said they were impressed by the volume of teacher resources and the ability to step into a classroom and teach directly from the program. One trustee described the materials as "superb" and said a teacher could walk into a lesson and teach from the book. The board confirmed the selection process was run through the curriculum council and noted that teacher buy‑in was a key factor in the recommendation.
Trustees stressed the need for ongoing professional development so teachers can implement the program consistently across classrooms. The motion to approve the program passed unanimously.
Next steps: administrators and the curriculum council will schedule training and support for middle‑school teachers ahead of full implementation.
