Dealing with Deficiencies

I am frequently asked questions about schools cited with major deficiencies at the time of the team visit. Some of these deficiencies are MAJOR violations of health and safety issues but may be easily and quickly correctable.

Whenever possible, the school should act immediately (or in short order) to rectify a Major Deficiency. If the team correctly identifies something as a MAJOR DEFICIENCY and the school takes corrective action before the National Commission meets, a visiting team report may be amended to recognize that fact. Someone (DAC) must validate that the corrective action has taken place. Whenever that occurs a school may be able to avoid a provisional assignment.

NLSA encourages and recognizes schools that provide quality Christian education and engage in continuous improvement. Whenever the DAC or the National Commission is able to document improvement we are accomplishing our mission.
