Commission upgrades George and Wilkinson school districts from probation to accredited
Summary
The commission voted to upgrade George County School District and Wilkinson County School District from probationary accreditation to accredited after staff verified compliance with process standards and completed on‑site visits.
The Mississippi Commission on School Accreditation voted to upgrade the accreditation status of two school districts after staff reported each had met required process standards.
Dr. Malone told the commission that both George County School District and Wilkinson County School District had submitted documentation and allowed agency staff to conduct on‑site verification of compliance with process standards. Based on that verification the agency recommended removing each district from probation and restoring full accredited status.
For George County, Dr. Sarah Wilborn moved to approve the upgrade and Ayesha Maxwell seconded; commissioners voted by voice and the motion carried. For Wilkinson County, Carl Evers moved the upgrade and Dr. Rhimes seconded; that motion also passed by voice vote.
The commission did not discuss sanctions or conditional requirements tied to the upgrades during the meeting. The upgrades take effect as approved and will be reflected in the commission’s accreditation records.
