A review team will return to Wake County this month to see whether school leaders have taken enough steps to ensure the district's high schools can keep their accreditation.
AdvancED released a scathing report in March on the governance of Wake County's schools.
AdvancED put Wake's high schools on "accreditation-warned status," giving the district a year to address the group's concerns.
A review team from AdvancED will be back in Wake on Nov. 29 and 30, according to Ann Majestic, Wake's school board attorney.
AdvancED accused the school board majority of dividing the community by giving inadequate notice of major actions and making policy decisions, such as eliminating the use of socioeconomic diversity as a factor in student assignment, without compelling data.
Superintendent Tony Tata said the district is trying to address AdvancED's concerns about governance and leadership standards.
The review was initiated following a complaint filed by the state NAACP.
The accreditation battle was brought up during this fall's school board election by the Democratic candidates and liberal advocacy groups.
