District OR-1 Schools Receive AdvanceEd/NCA Accreditation
Part of Integrated Review Process with NCA and State Department of Education
District
OR-1 Schools recently hosted an external team visitation, made up
of members from the North Central Accreditation Agency and the
State Department of Education. The visit is part of the
accreditation process for schools in the state and nation.
During the two day visit, members of the team reviewed our current
School Improvement Goals and Action Plans, looked at evidence
assembled indicating the implementation of those goals and
plans, and reviewed reports and documentation relating District
OR-1’s level of adherence to the AdvancedEd/NCA Seven Quality
Standards.

Members of the team were very impressed with our school improvement
efforts. Team leader, Don Fritz, told members of the staff
that he heard many compliments by other team members as they went
through the process of looking over documents and during visits
with members of the administration, staff and students, at both
Palmyra and Bennet. At the end of the visit, an announcement
was made by Mr. Fritz, that we will be granted accreditation for a
five year term!
In addition to the accreditation aspect of the visit, members from
the State Department of Education also conducted reviews of our
Special Education Program, and No Child Left Behind Federal Grant
Programs. Both programs were found to be in compliance
with state and federal regulations and guidelines.
District OR-1 Schools is one of a small number of schools in the
state that have received AdvancedED/NCA Accreditation at both the
elementary and secondary levels for the entire school
district. Staff members, students and patrons can be quite
proud of this recent accomplishment.
