DeKalb Schools hope for full SACS accreditation soon

DeKalb School District leaders are hoping a SACS report expected at the end of January will lead to full accreditation.

The report will come in the wake of AdvancED’s latest inspection conducted on Dec. 8 and 9. AdvancED is the parent company of SACS.
AdvancED spokeswoman Jennifer Oliver says their team is reviewing its findings from the visit and will issue a report on the district’s progress this month.

School Board Chairman Dr. Melvin Johnson remains hopeful.

“We feel good about the inspection and are hoping for a good outcome,” he said on Dec. 18.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools placed the district on probation in December 2012 over governance, financial and student achievement issues.
