Annual report of the accreditation of school districts in South Carolina
In response to information and requests from local superintendents and school district officials, State Superintendent Molly M. Spearman convened the Accreditation Task Force (Task Force) to receive input for determining if changes are warranted in accreditation processes or regulations currently used in South Carolina’s public schools. Superintendent Spearman opened the initial meeting on June 28, 2017, with a challenge to members to share their concerns, engage in open dialogue, and explore every option to create a process that works best for all districts and South Carolina’s students. Participants of the Task Force were not limited to discussing current regulations, but could propose changes or new regulations if the Task Force deemed that necessary for improvement. The Task Force received the State Superintendent’s commitment that their input would be carefully considered as the SCDE reviews and makes changes to the accreditation process.
