Lisbon High School On Probation By NEASC

Lisbon - On Thursday, July 9, 2009, the Lisbon School Department was notified by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) that the Commission had unanimously affirmed its decision to place the Lisbon High School on probation for failure to adhere to the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation on Instruction and Community Resources for Learning.

In a letter dated July 8, 2009, the Commission outlined their concerns related to current Instruction and Community Resources for Learning. Despite the Commission’s concerns identified in the letter, it did wish to acknowledge the efforts the Lisbon School Department has made in regards to creating alternative facility plans and other needed instructional updates. NEASC also informed us that even though we are on probationary status, the Lisbon High School is still fully accredited.

The Lisbon School Department will continue to address the NEASC concerns through special meetings and workshops. The Lisbon School Committee encourages members of the community to become involved in these important discussions as we move forward in an effort to regain our initial status of “credited with no adverse action.” If you have any questions please contact the Interim Superintendent of Schools, Richard Green, at the following address and number. 19 Gartley Street, Lisbon ME, 04250.
