Abstract	In June 2003 the Maine Department of Education published the "Local Assessment System (LAS) Guide: Principles and Criteria for the Adoption of Local Assessment Systems." This LAS Guide provides school systems with the criteria and rules necessary to comply with Chapter 127 while also providing flexibility for local decisions. The intent of this document is to provide guidance for school systems as they make decisions about their individual assessment systems while ensuring that all students are assessed through one, or a combination of three avenues: standard administration; administration with accommodations; or through alternate assessment. The decision about the avenue of student participation is made by a team and is decided for each content area. The LAS Guide clearly states that assessments administered with valid accommodations or through an alternate assessment are to be considered comparable. What has not been articulated is the process school systems need to use to make decisions about which avenue is most appropriate for individual student participation. Appended are: DOE Content Clusters; Assessment Contacts; Process for Determining the Appropriate Avenue for Participation in Local Assessments; Local Assessment Accommodations Appeals Process; and LAA Framework of Assessment Formats.
