As PubDef was the first to report back in April, the State Board of Education is poised to strip the Riverview Gardens School District of its accreditation. Labels: Schools
When the Board meets tomorrow in Jefferson City, DESE Commissioner Kent King will recommend that the school district be de-accredited.
If the state decides to strip the district because of academic performance, the Riverview Gardens school board and officials would have two full school years to get their house in order. If the action occurs this month or next, that means they have until 2009. If it doesn't occur until June or July, then they'll have until 2010 before the state takes further action.
However, if the State Board of Education takes away accreditation for financial reasons, state law allows for DESE to step in immediately.
Before the meeting, the Board's newest member, St. Louisan Derio Gambaro, will be sworn in.

Since the state has decided that we are apparently going to deal with this word repeatedly and forever until there are no more worlds to conquor, can we all come to grammatical agreement about the word which should be used to describe the state's removal of accreditation from a school district? de-accredit? dis-accredit? un-accredit? Hyphen? No hyphen? Let's just pick one and stick with it.
Wait a minute...
If a school district falls
from accreditation in a city
and no word is there
to describe it...
does it still make a sound
investment for charter companies?
