In the fall of each year, the CSA determines the annual accreditation status of all public school districts based on verified accreditation data from the previous school year. An annual district accreditation status is assigned based on compliance with Process Standards. Information concerning district compliance with Process Standards is reported to the CSA on an annual basis. See Policy 2.2.
The district superintendent and school principals are responsible for ensuring that all data reported to the MDE are true and accurate as verified by supporting documentation on file in the school district. Reporting false information is a violation of the accreditation requirements set forth by the SBE and may result in the downgrading of the district's accreditation status.
After the CSA acts on accreditation records presented, during the fall, the district superintendent and the chairperson of the local school board are notified of the assigned status. The decision of the CSA is final unless appealed by the school board of the school district to the SBE in accordance with the appeal procedures in Policy 6.0 of this document. If a school board of the school district does not request a hearing before the CSA, they waive their right to any appeal of the CSA's decision.
