LCPS Receives AdvancED Recommendation for Continued Accreditation

Following a two-day visit by an AdvancEd accreditation team, lead by Jeff McQuistan of Educational Service Unit #17, the Loup City Public Schools received the team's recommendation for continued AdvancED accreditation. The AdvancED process is voluntary and represents a commitment on the part of the district to embrace higher accreditation standards than required by the Nebraska Department of Education for school accreditation.

The accreditation team was very complementary of the Loup City community, teaching and support staff, administration and Board of Education. The report lists powerful practices of the district,  ratings according to the five AdvancED standards, and actions required to maintain AdvancED accreditation.

The complete AdvancED Accreditation Team Exit Report, which was provided to LCPS staff and Board Members at the conclusion of the team's visit is available on the district website.
