After
the visit, a written report is provided to the school listing
commendations and recommendations. On the basis of this report,
the Accreditation Committee takes action to grant Certification
(new member schools) or Continuation of Accreditation (previously
accredited schools) or, in rare cases, the withholding of action
to secure additional information. Both Certification and Continuation
of Accreditation require that there be filed with the Accreditation
Committee within one year, an Action Plan for further progress
and a response to each of the recommendations in the Chairperson's
Report. Two educators appointed by the Committee review this
document. Upon acceptance of this document, a new school receives
full Accreditation and a previously accredited school receives
notice of Continuation of Accreditation.
Five
years after the original visit, a written report of progress
is filed with NJAIS and a two-person team visits the school
for one day. On the basis of the report and visit, the Accreditation
Committee may continue the accreditation for the balance of
the ten year period, continue the accreditation on the condition
that the school take certain actions, or revoke the accreditation.
For
further information on the NJAIS Accreditation Program, or
membership, please contact: Linda
Moore, Executive Director
