DeKalb schools retain "on advisement" accreditaiton
DeKalb County Schools will retain their "on advisement" status from an accreditation agency until next year.
The school system announced Tuesday that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools informed them the provisional status would adhere until formal approval of a 5-year accreditation, expected in March.
The school system was advised by SACS early this year to complete eight actions, from hiring a superintendent to redistricting schools. Only two remain unfinished, spokesman Walter Woods said: developing a strategic plan and establishing reporting authority for a system auditor. Both should be completed by February, he said.
