o What specific accreditations or approvals must the online curriculum hold to ensure credits are accepted by students’ schools of record and meet North Carolina state standards?

SACSCOC is a regional accrediting agency that specifically accredits curriculums in the Southern region of the United States, and it also accredits online institutions that offer high school programs.

Either is good.

o Please clarify, is the agency expecting anything additional outside of the virtual curriculum such as tutorial support, specialized educational programming/personalized learning (e.g. - 504,IEP,Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, Gifted &Talent)? AND are do you need additional training for the onsite teachers, the virtual course teachers, or none of the above?

There may be instances where a student takes a course that is not standard, i.e., Native American History. It does not happen often. Basic training for navigation, etc. should be offered.
