Introduced by: Thomas A. "Tag" Greason | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
School accreditation frequency. Provides that the Board of Education may review the accreditation status of a public school once every three years if the school has been fully accredited for three consecutive years. At the end of the three-year period, the Board shall review the accreditation status of the school and may accredit the school for another three years if the school met accreditation requirements for all three years. The bill requires the Board to review the accreditation status of any school that (i) would have failed to achieve full accreditation in one of the years of the three-year period or (ii) has had a significant boundary adjustment. The bill requires Standards of Learning assessment scores to continue to be reported on the School Performance Report Card annually, regardless of accreditation frequency.
