Accreditation statuses assigned by the State Board of Education are (a) TEMPORARY, (b) ACCREDITED, (c) ADVISED, (d) PROBATION, and (e) WITHDRAWN.
TEMPORARY. A TEMPORARY status may be assigned to a satellite school or a school newly established by the local governing body of an accredited nonpublic school/system currently on record with the State Board of Education.
A special purpose school that serves students with disabilities may be assigned a TEMPORARY status when (a) the special purpose school is in compliance with IDEA and relevant state regulations and (b) is accredited by AdvancED or by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
A TEMPORARY status will expire twelve (12) months from the date that the TEMPORARY status was assigned and is not renewable. During the twelve-month period, the school may apply to the State
Board of Education for an accreditation status.
ACCREDITED. A nonpublic school will be assigned an ACCREDITED status when the school is in compliance with each of the applicable accreditation requirements and standards as described in this document.
ADVISED. A nonpublic school will be assigned an ADVISED status the first year that the school fails to comply with all of the requirements as described in this document.
PROBATION. A nonpublic school will be assigned a PROBATION status if the school was assigned an ADVISED status the previous school year and the nonpublic school has not taken corrective actions or has not resolved the process standard deficiencies that resulted in the ADVISED status. The nonpublic school will be required to develop a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to address the deficiencies. (See Accreditation Policy 2.4.2.)
WITHDRAWN. A nonpublic school will be assigned a WITHDRAWN status when the school has been previously assigned a status of PROBATION and the school fails to meet the goals and timelines for resolving identified deficiencies as stated in its approved Corrective Action Plan (CAP).
