Baldwin County Schools Received Accreditation with Quality

At September's Board meeting, all Baldwin County Schools were recognized for being "Accreditated with Quality" by the Georgia Accrediting Commission(GAC), Inc. for the 2022-2023 school year. Pre-kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school programs all have standards they must meet in order to receive such accreditation, as outlined on the Georgia Accrediting Commission website. In addition, the District received an overall seal of quality, which was received by Board Chair Mr. John Jackson and Superintendent Dr. Noris Price. Congratulations to all of our schools for receiving Accreditation with Quality!

The mission of the Georgia Accrediting Commission is twofold: (l) to establish standards promoting instruction of high quality for children in Georgia and (2) to encourage schools to meet the established standards. GAC provides an accreditation process designed to establish and uphold standards, to strengthen the quality of education in each school, and to assure its membership and the general public that the established standards are related to the best educational practices. The GAC serves as a means of ensuring that its membership meets certain standards for the operation and support of quality school programs in the State of Georgia. Specifically, GAC establishes standards and procedures to carry out the accreditation process. GAC also determines the accreditation status of the educational program of each school and publishes an annual list of schools with accredited programs. The GAC Executive Director issues certificates for those schools and agencies Provisionally Accredited, Accredited Annually, Accredited, Accredited Fully and Accredited With Quality.
