AdvancED
Monitoring Review Report Released
SCCPSS
Schools Remain Fully Accredited
The
Savannah-Chatham County Public School System has received the “Monitoring
Review Report” from the AdvancED Review team’s visit held on March 26-28, 2019.
The
report is a component of the monitoring process that began with the
identification of certain Improvement Priorities resulting from a Special
Review conducted in the fall of 2017 to address AdvancED Standards 1.4 and 1.5
as listed below:
- Standard 1.4: The governing authority establishes and
ensures adherence to policies that are designed
to
support institutional effectiveness.
- Standard 1.5: The governing authority adheres to a code
of ethics and functions within defined roles
and
responsibilities.
This
new Monitoring Review Report maintains that significant progress has been made
over the past several months and that an effective environment for maintaining
and addressing the Improvement Priorities has been created. The report
further concludes that Performance Standard 1.4 has been met, while Performance
Standard 1.5 needs additional attention.
According
to AdvancED, the high schools in the district will continue with their
accreditation status of “Accredited” pending the district’s progress made by
the date of a Monitoring Review to be held prior to January 31, 2020. The
purpose of the follow-up Monitoring Review will be to assess the progress made
toward meeting Standard 1.5 as identified in this report.
JOINT
STATEMENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT AND SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS: “SCCPSS remains
fully committed to working closely with the AdvancED review team to meet the
