Summary

The superintendent reported Limestone County Schools received accredited status from Cognia with an IQ score above the network average and two named areas for improvement to be addressed in a three-year progress report.

The superintendent announced that Limestone County Schools has been awarded accredited status by Cognia’s Global Commission, the action conferred March 31, 2025, and reported an institutional IQ score of 347, above the Cognia network average of 296.

The superintendent read the accreditation email summary describing the recognition from regional commissions associated with Cognia and listed two areas identified as needing improvement: (1) implementing a formal structure to promote a culture and climate where learners consistently receive adult and peer support, and (2) ensuring professional staff consistently engage in inquiry-based action research to identify instructional improvements and report results. The superintendent said the district will address the areas and submit required progress evidence to Cognia during the three years following the review.

No board action was recorded on the accreditation report; the announcement was part of the superintendent’s report to the board.
