Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager announced that Flagler Schools received a five-year re-accreditation from AdvancEd.
“This is a great way to have outside educational professionals come to our district and take a good, hard look at what we’re doing,” Tager said in a news release. “It is a rigorous process and validates what we’re doing as well as gives us steps to improve.”
In April, a team from AdvancEd interviewed more than 200 people, including school administrators, teachers, staff, students, parents and local business leaders.
AdvancEd’s process looks at three specific areas: Leadership Capacity, Learning Capacity and Resource Capacity. The district’s strengths were listed as “a positive culture throughout the district, a strong dedication and commitment to improving student achievement, and a careful consideration for obtaining and providing human, financial, material and technological resources.”
