Welcome to the new Broward County Schools SACS CASI Information System. This web page was designed so that district staff and the Broward County community could become more familiar with a new protocol offered by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI),
District Accreditation as a Quality System. This distinction is the highest level of accreditation that a school system can receive from the SACS CASI organization.
Currently, the
Broward County School District is recognized as the
nation's largest fully accredited school district. This
means that annually, every Broward County school meets
or exceeds the accreditation standards that support
student achievement. Through this traditional method of
accrediting schools, individual schools are reviewed for
accreditation eligibility, with the district's central
office staff playing a limited but important
role.
Because of
Broward County's long-standing reputation for providing
a high-quality education to every Broward County Public
School student, the district began actively seeking
District Accreditation as a Quality System.
According to the
SACS CASI organization, the development of the district
accreditation protocol is in response to requests from
superintendents and other district leaders throughout
the nation who wanted to better coordinate accreditation
with ongoing system improvement initiatives, state and
district mandates.
With the district
accreditation protocol, a full examination of Broward
County's program initiatives to improve student
learning, as well as a review of its K-12 schools and
high-quality academic programs, will further validate
that all District components are actively working
together to ensure that every student receives a
high-quality education.
District
Accreditation as a Quality System will validate Broward
County's outstanding accomplishments as well as
recognize the efforts of every Broward County School
District employee.
