Local School Officials
Working On Re-accreditation
County school officials are
proceeding with plans for seeking
Level III re-accreditation of the
Hoke County school system.
Work on a comprehensive self
study and a six-year master plan
for county schools will culminate
in January.
An on-site review and evaluation
by state school officials will follow
on March 9.
If the local plan is approved, the
State Board of Education will like
ly re-accredit the Hoke County
Schools in late spring or early sum
mer.
The Hoke County Board of
Education filed notice of its intent
to seek re-accreditation in
September, after which the
Department of Public Instruction
in Raleigh assigned James V&lsame
to serve as consultant to the Hoke
County school unit.
Schools Supt. Raz Autry has
tapped John D. McAllister,
Associate Superintendent, to serve
as coordinator for the accredita
tion effort.
Mr. McAllister, Gloria Williams
and Marilyn Semones are on the
steering committee. They met with
the state consultant, reviewed the
re-accreditation manuals, and have
appointed a leadership team com
prised of committee chairpersons
and principals to direct the efforts.
Twenty-one sub-committees
have been named to assess
strengths and weaknesses in
various instructional, auxiliary ser
vices, support services and other
areas.
By January these committees
will submit goals for improvement
which will become part of an
overall six-year plan of improve
ment covering grades k-12.
Since 1974, the N.C. Depart- (
ment of Public Instruction has ac
credited entire school systems,
rather than individual schools.
Eight-seven of the state's 143
school units are now accredited.
This accreditation from the
N.C. Department of Public In
struction is separate and apart
from the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools which ac
credits individual schools for 10 j
years with five-year reviews.
