The Commission on School Accreditation held a scheduled meeting on September 18, 2025, via teleconference, with members participating from various locations across Mississippi. The meeting, chaired by Pamela Manors, began at 8:35 AM after confirming a quorum of members present.

The agenda was approved unanimously after a motion by Dr. Carla Everett and a second by Brad Stevens. One of the key updates shared during the meeting was the announcement of a vacancy on the commission due to the departure of member Trasiki Perez, who has taken a new position in another district.

The meeting also welcomed three new commission members: Dr. John Mark Kane, superintendent of Laredale County Schools; Carter Myers, a school board member from Oxford; and Judge Betsy Cotton, who handles youth court matters. Each new member introduced themselves, sharing their backgrounds and commitment to the commission's work.

The meeting concluded with a positive note, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among the commission members as they move forward in their roles. The next steps for filling the vacant position and further discussions on accreditation processes were anticipated in future meetings.
