Description
School accreditation frequency. Eliminates the requirement for the Board of Education to annually review the accreditation status of public elementary and secondary schools and permits the Board to review the accreditation status of schools annually, once every three years, or once every five years. The bill requires the frequency of such review to be based on criteria established by the Board that take into consideration each school's accreditation history, most recent accreditation status, and performance on metrics contained in the School Performance Report Card. The bill provides that any school that fails to achieve full accreditation but whose accreditation status is not scheduled to be reviewed by the Board in the subsequent year may request that the Board review its accreditation status in the subsequent year. The bill requires Standards of Learning assessments scores to continue to be reported on the School Performance Report Card annually, regardless of accreditation frequency. Read the Bill »
