BOARD MEETING
Bill Dorulla, CAA
Athletic Director
The new AdvancED Standards for Quality mark an evolution
in continuous improvement and accreditation. While
leveraging accreditation as a powerful tool for driving
effective practices in support of student learning, these
research-based Standards also emphasize teaching and
learning; share embedded common themes across Standards;
and address students' ability to successfully develop learning,
thinking, and life skills as critical elements of student
achievement. The five standards are: Purpose and Direction,
Governance and Leadership, Teaching and Assessing for
Learning, Resources and Support Systems and Using Results
for Continuous Improvement.
Standard Focus #4:
Resource and Support Systems
Indicator 4.3
The system maintains facilities, services, and
equipment to provide a safe, clean, and healthy
environment for all students and staff.
Leader Assessment – Level 4
• System and school leaders have adopted or
collaboratively created clear definitions and
expectations for maintaining safety, cleanliness, and
healthy environment and have shared these definitions
and expectations with all stakeholders. All system and
school personnel as well as students are accountable for
maintaining these expectations. Valid measures are in
place that allow for continuous tracking of these
conditions. Improvement plans are developed and
implemented by appropriate personnel to continuously
improve these conditions. The results of improvement
efforts are systematically evaluated regularly.
Statement concerning Safety in Athletics
A. The responsibility of ensuring safety in the
development of the sport rests with everyone
concerned. Athletes, coaches, officials, facility
providers, ground staff, meeting organizers,
spectators and the general public all have a duty of
care to ensure that their actions due not affect the
health, safety and welfare of themselves and others.
B. Failures of control are assessed through monitoring
systems requiring the thorough investigation of any
accidents, illness or incidents to identify the
underlying causes and implications. Commitment to
continuous improvement involves the constant
development of policies and approaches towards
implementation and risk control procedures.
