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 §&nbsp;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 §&nbsp;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.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 31 SDR 178, adopted May 4, 2005, effective July 1, 2005.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=13-1-12.1">13-1-12.1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=13-3-1.4">13-3-1.4</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=13-3-47">13-3-47.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=13-1-12.1">13-1-12.1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=13-3-47">13-3-47.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
