Post date: Nov 17, 2017 1:24:49 PM

The Seminole County School District earned accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS-CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED.

SACS-CASI provides nationally-recognized accreditation, the purpose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. To earn accreditation, schools must meet SACS-CASI’s high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school and implement a continuous process of school improvement.

“Accreditation demonstrates to our students, parents and community that we are focused on raising student achievement, providing a safe and enriching learning environment, and maintaining an efficient and effective operation staffed by highly qualified educators,” stated Brinson Register, Superintendent.

SACS-CASI accreditation is recognized across state lines, which not only eases the transfer process as students move from accredited school to accredited school but also assures parents that the school is meeting nationally accepted standards for quality and successful professional practice.

Dr. Mark Elgart, President/CEO of AdvancED, the parent organization of SACS-CASI, stated, “SACS-CASI Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school on the primary goal of creating lifelong learners. The Seminole County School District is to be commended for engaging in this process and demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement.”
