Quality Assurance is a process by which schools in Illinois present evidence to assure that their processes and results meet state standards. They are recognized with a DOES NOT MEET, MEETS OR EXCEEDS distinction. The rating is based on criteria recognized by the state. A school can use Illinois State Board of Education criteria or criteria from the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Educational Performance Excellence. The criteria for our district and school assurance portfolio is modeled after the Malcolm Baldrige National Award for Performance Excellence and American Society for Quality (ASQ) Koality Kid Alliance. The Baldrige Award consists of seven core values that measure the effectiveness of systems and processes within an organization.
