What are the terms of accreditation and who determines the length of term?
Following the state’s approval process, a copies of the visiting team report are sent to the school and the schools district’s superintendent. The term of the accreditation for a school will vary. Schools may be awarded a one, three, or six year term. The visiting team will recommend a term of accreditation to the State School Accreditation Committee. The committee, upon reviewing both the school’s yearly report and the visiting team’s report will determine the actual term the school is given. NAAS will follow up by sending a certificate of accreditation to the school.
