Are more schools on warning or probation as a result of the 2000/2005 Standards and visit protocol?
At any given time approximately 100/110 schools are on warning out of a membership of approximately 655 schools. That number has not changed substantially since the adoption of the new Standards. Similarly, at any given time 20/25 schools are on probation. The most common time that schools are placed on warning is coming off the decennial visit. What has changed since the adoption of the new Standards is the nature of the activities in which schools are engaged in response to the recommendations. The recommendations tend to be much more process oriented than was the case under the old Standards. Usually, barring some particularly intransigent problem dealing with facilities or finances, schools do work their way off warning status within a relatively short period of time in the years following the decennial visit. The list of schools on warning is in constant flux. “Warning” is not a public status; the Commission does not publish a list of schools on “Warning.” Schools on “Probation” can be found on this website. Schools that are on probation typically have problems that take a number of years and considerable resources to resolve.
