Accountability

The word accountability is one that appears virtually everywhere in this day and age. It seems that everybody wants to hold someone accountable for his/her actions. In an of itself this is certainly not a bad thing to want to do. At times in education we wonder about the amount of time and resources put into demonstrating accountability. That being said, NCCS is now in the process of demonstrating accountability to Hamline Graduate School of Education, our sponsor. We are in the process of requesting a 3 year renewal of sponsorship. We have spent quite a bit of time with folks from Hamline in addition to independent contractors whom they have hired take a look at us. These reports can be viewed on our website. They see NCCS as a good place where good things are happening, and being done in fiscally and educationally sound ways. We will be finishing this process in the next month or so as the board redirects goals for the next three years.
