The revised Accreditation Policy details the standard by which DC PCSB adds an accrediting agency to the list of approved agencies, changes the name of AdvancED to Cognia, and adds New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) to the approved list.
Public charter schools are held accountable for academic achievement. The School Reform Act requires DC PCSB to conduct a charter review of each school at least every five years. After 15 years in operation, each school is required to submit a renewal application requesting to renew its charter for another 15-year term.
