In the new accountability
system, public school accreditation is two-fold. Each school
district is awarded an accreditation status based on compliance with
process standards, and individual schools are assigned a school
performance classification based on student achievement.
District accreditation statuses were awarded under the new
accreditation model in October 2001, and individual school
performance classifications were assigned in September 2003.
For the first time, all components of a school (students, teachers,
principals, superintendents, and school board members) are held
accountable for student learning.
