The State Board of Education will designate Department of Education staff to review annual reports and direct audit teams, as needed, to validate the information. Upon review of the compliance report and application requesting accreditation, the staff will compare the information with any other data on file within the Mississippi Department of Education, notify the school of any inconsistency in reporting or any apparent deficiency in meeting accreditation requirements, and work with the school to clarify or eliminate said inconsistency or deficiency.
Information submitted by each school will be validated by auditors through in-house procedures and on-site audits. Based upon information received and reviewed, the staff will submit to the State Board of Education in writing the recommended accreditation status for each nonpublic school. The State Board of Education will review the staff recommendations and act on accreditation records, advising each chief school administrator and chairperson of the governing board in writing of the accreditation status assigned the school.
