Lisbon High School Building "Official" Update

Lisbon - In a letter dated July 8, 2009, the Lisbon School Department was notified by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) that the Commission had placed the Lisbon High School on probation. 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 Committee has developed goals for the 2009/2010 school year. One of their primary focuses will be on the analysis of the Lisbon High School building and addressing the areas of concerns identified in the NEASC report. In an effort to communicate the progress that is being made, the Lisbon School Committee has developed a webpage to share information on the work that is being completed. This webpage will also provide updated financial reports so that the citizens of Lisbon will be able to view their taxes at work. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions on how we can improve our efforts to communicate our progress, please contact Traci Austin @ taustin_lisbon@yahoo.com. The webpage can be viewed at the Lisbonschoolsme.org under the Facilities/NEASC link.
