Richland One Educator Selected to Serve on Prestigious Accreditation Committee

Richland One congratulates Dr. Carla Daniels, a media specialist at Eau Claire High School, for her selection as a Commissioner of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).

Commissioners, who are among the South’s leading educators, monitor and determine accreditation of public and private schools and universities in 11 southern states, as well as the countries of Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean islands and other geographic areas.

"I’m very proud to represent Richland One on this state and regional committee," says Dr. Daniels. "It is truly an honor. On this committee I’ll be able to help set policy for the southern regional accreditation process."

Dr. Daniels, a veteran educator with 26 years of experience in South Carolina’s public schools, was elected to serve at the Southern Association’s annual conference this week. She is presently a National Board-certified library media specialist and has worked with students on all grade levels. Dr. Daniels has served on various Richland One strategic and grant-writing teams, helping the district to secure more than $2.5 million to benefit its students. She is also a certified teaching evaluator for the SC Department of Education.

The Southern Association is a voluntary, non-governmental agency composed of more than 13,000 accredited elementary, middle and secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities.
