SCHOOL DAY

RSU 1 exists to provide education to the children and young people who
reside within the unit. The essence of this education is primarily the
teaching-learning setting with direct contact between teachers and
students. It is the intent of the board that optimal instructional time
for each age level within the student body is provided during the
typical school day.

The "instructional day" is not considered to include co-curricular or
extracurricular activities. Exceptions shall only be made with the
approval of the Superintendent. The number of school days shall meet or
exceed the state requirement and be set annually by this Board and be
included in the school calendar.
