The department may coordinate approval activities with those of an approved external third-party accreditation agency, if requested by a nonpublic school. The state approval will be granted on an annual basis as set forth in § 24:43:02:04. Activities that may be coordinated include, but are not limited to, the development and implementation of the multi-year improvement plan and participation in the agency's onsite review. The school remains responsible for fulfillment of state requirements established per § 24:43:02:04 that are not addressed in the improvement plan. Religious or cultural standards established by the external third-party accreditation agency will not be subject to state review or approval, unless the school submits a request to the state for approval of specified religious or cultural offerings in fulfillment of state curriculum requirements or state-required graduation credits.
