ACCREDITATION OF SCHOOLS
Schools in the DeKalb County School System are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Each year the local school principal must submit compliance reports for the school.
Each school must conduct a SACS evaluation every ten years and must submit an interim report the fifth year.
Expenses for accreditation are paid by the school system.
