The present policies and standards for the approval of separately-administered adult high schools were drafted by a task force appointed in 1971 and were adopted in March 1973. It is anticipated that the standards will aid all adult high schools to move forward to new levels of effectiveness. Policies stated relate to definition, school evaluation, innovation and unusual programs and designs, and classification of schools. Standards are related to aspects of: institutional purpose, organization and administration, instructional program, noncredit offerings, professional staff, leisure and cocurricular activities, student personnel services, institutional adaptability, instructional/learning materials and services, finances, facilities and equipment, and evaluation. Other sections cover procedures for amendment, appeals, organization, rulings, and teacher requirements. (EA)
