Labour Council Approves School Admissions Changes in Brighton

The New America Higher Education Policy Team has expressed concerns regarding the Postsecondary Commission's (PSC) recent revision of its accreditation standards, particularly the removal of a key value-added metric from the standards to editable policy documents. This shift raises questions about the rigor and stability of the commission's accreditation process. In Oklahoma, a series of bills have been proposed to limit the Oklahoma State Board of Education's authority to revoke teaching licenses, aiming to ensure due process for educators facing potential license suspension. These legislative efforts follow controversial cases, including the revocation of a teacher's license over political expressions related to critical race theory. Meanwhile, Somerville High School is preparing for an accreditation visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, focusing on alignment with educational standards and fostering continuous improvement. These developments reflect ongoing debates surrounding educational governance and the accreditation process across different states.
