On May 3-6, 2009, Livonia Public Schools hosted an AdvancED Quality Assurance Review Team that visited the district and a cross section of our schools.  Their purpose was to evaluate how well our district met the AdvancED accreditation standards on quality schools and to make a recommendation for national accreditation.

Nine trained professionals from across the state and nation completed the following steps:

• reviewed district documents and performance data,
• interviewed over 285 district, school, and community stakeholders,
• conducted site visits to six schools,
• observed district and school quality practices.

The team found that Livonia Public Schools met the requirements for AdvancED accreditation at the highest level.  The team then announced that it will be recommending the district for District Accreditation.  The final report was received  and  is being reviewed order to make plans to maintain the commendations the district received and address the  recommendations made.
