    Did you know that the Kansas State Office can help you meet your KSDE requirements?
    Your NCA CASI Quality Assurance Review (QAR) Team - once known as your visiting team - can serve as your State Technical Assistance Team should you go "on improvement" with the state department of education.
    The state office will handle your appeal should you face conditional accreditation from the state department of education.
