[samscommunity] District Seeks District Accreditation

MESSAGE FROM ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL:



RICHLAND ONE PURSUING DISTRICT ACCREDITATION

Richland One Superintendent Dr. Percy A. Mack announces that the
district has become a candidate for AdvancED District Accreditation. 

AdvancED District Accreditation provides nationally recognized
accreditation for the district and all of its schools. To earn AdvancED
District Accreditation, the district must: 1) meet the AdvancED
accreditation standards; 2) implement a continuous process of
improvement; and 3) host an external review team once every five years.

“District accreditation is a rigorous process that demonstrates to
our students, parents, and community that we are focused on raising
student achievement, providing safe and enriching learning environments,
and maintaining efficient and effective operations staffed by highly
qualified educators,” Mack said.

Using the AdvancED Standards for Quality School Systems as a framework,
the district will begin the process by conducting a thorough
self-assessment of its strengths and opportunities for improvement. The
district will engage a broad cross-section of representatives from
across the districts, its schools and the broader community in its
self-assessment.

Following its internal review, the district will host an AdvancED
Quality Assurance Review team comprised of trained professionals from
across the nation and state. The review team will visit the district in
October 2009 to evaluate the district’s self-assessment, determine the
degree to which the district meets the AdvancED accreditation standards
and make an accreditation recommendation.

“Richland One is a great school district,” Mack said. “We believe
strongly that the AdvancED District Accreditation Process will make us
even better. Students win when the entire district commits to examining
all of its processes and systems to determine what more we can be doing
to benefit the students we serve. This is the essence of the
accreditation process.”

Parents and interested community members can learn more about the
District Accreditation Process at www.advanc-ed.org.
