LISBON – Lisbon High School’s accreditation has been extended for an additional five years.
The 60-page report by a visiting committee of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges’ Commission on Public Secondary Schools is divided into seven sections: mission and expectations for student learning; curriculum; instruction; assessment of student learning; leadership and organization; school resources for learning; and community resources for learning.
Each section contains many favorable commendations followed by recommendations for improvements that are to be addressed in yearly follow-up reports by the school.
As a part of its continued accreditation, the school will be required to submit a report on its progress in addressing recommendations for improvements during July of each year, according to Assistant Principal Warren Galway.
Likewise, all principals must report to the commission within 60 days of the occurrence any substantive change in the school that has a negative impact on the school’s ability to meet any of the commission’s standards for accreditation.
The school’s continued accreditation will be based on its making satisfactory progress in implementing valid recommendations of the visiting committee. Also, school officials are expected to have completed, or be in the final stages of completion, of all valid visiting committee recommendations by the time the five-year progress report is submitted.
In concluding its report, members of the visiting team expressed their appreciation to the entire school staff, students and community for the hospitality that was extended to the team during its visit to the school.
