Last night, Mrs. Jacob and Mrs. Costello presented our school renewal plan to our School Improvement Council. This is part of the Kershaw County School District’s 5 year accreditation report. This was formerly known as a SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) report. The SACS is now known as AdvancEd. This organization maintains the accreditation for all schools in our area. In the past, each school had to undergo this process individually. Now, the whole school district participates in this process at the same time. It involves an extensive review process at the district level and the development of renewal plans at the school level. During the fall of 2008, the district will host a visiting review team. This team will analyze the district’s document as well as the individual renewal plans.While the team is here, they will visit many, if not all, of the schools in Kershaw County to meet with teachers, parents, and students. As that time grows near, more details will be forthcoming. Our school renewal plan will be available for review in the front office.
