Training as a SAC CASI School Team Chair

On June 11th and 12th, Tom and Pat Carley, a valued colleague from the office, received certification as nationally-trained chairs for the Quality Assurance Review (QAR) teams for AdvancEd, the parent company of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Council of Accreditation and School Improvement (CASI). With this certification, both are now able to chair the committees that provide accreditation to schools in much of the country. The two-day training was held at the Marriott Hotel just north of the Orlando International Airport. Tom always loves being near an airport.
