Abstract
When the Essential Programs & Services (EPS) cost model was being developed, the EPS Committee determined that implementing the Maine Learning Results would require leadership to coordinate curricula within classrooms, across grade levels, and across schools in an SAU (Maine State Board of Education, 1999). Resources were also deemed necessary to provide leadership during the development and implementation of comprehensive local assessment systems that were being developed at the time. These responsibilities were deemed above and beyond what is provided in EPS for the administration and management of schools and School Administrative Units (SAUs). It was also concluded that providing this support for leadership on a per-pupil, non-targeted basis would allow SAUs the most flexibility to determine what type of leadership they need and at what position and grade level. Support for Instructional Leadership was initially set at $20 per pupil, rising to $25 in 2015 and $29 in 2019.
