What’s in it
AI summary Nonpublic schools can now choose to cancel their application for accreditation or stop being accredited at any time by sending a written notice to the director of education. Once the state receives this notice, it must stop all monitoring and enforcement activities for that school. This rule applies to all nonpublic schools, whether they are currently accredited or are still in the application process.1
