7 Miss. Code. R. 163-2.0-2.6

Current through December 10, 2024
Section 7-163-2.0-2.6 - Removal of Accreditation Status

Before acting to remove a school's accreditation status, the school will be notified in writing of the option to voluntarily withdraw from the accreditation process without prejudice. (See Nonpublic School Accreditation Policy 2.7.) If school officials choose the option not to withdraw, the appeal procedures in Section 6.0 of this document will be followed.

The State Board of Education will take action to remove a nonpublic school's accreditation status only when:

* the school fails to submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) as required,

* the school fails to meet the goals and timelines for resolving identified deficiencies as stated in its Corrective Action Plan (CAP),

* accumulated violations are of such a serious nature that special State Board of Education action is warranted, or

* an intentional act of reporting false information is confirmed.

When the State Board of Education takes action to remove the accreditation status of a nonpublic school, the accredited status will be noted as WITHDRAWN.

When the accreditation status of a nonpublic school is removed for any of the reasons described in this section, the school may not be reconsidered for accreditation until one (1) full school year has passed. Prior to being reconsidered as an accredited nonpublic school, the school will be evaluated by a committee designated by the State Board of Education. If the committee confirms that the school is in compliance with all accreditation requirements and standards, then the reinstatement status of the school will be PROBATION for one (1) school year.
