A spokesperson for Florida's university system says the state has no hard-and-fast rule to exclude kids from non-accredited districts. Rather, the schools have the flexibility to decide that on their own.
But Clayton County parents like Vernetta Reeves, worry that now other states and schools will start unearthing their own policies that could exclude her children:
REEVES: If we keep getting news like this, we're going to have to make another decision, because we're not going to risk our children's future based on lack of information.
Barmak Nassirian is surveying roughly two thousand institutions of higher education nationwide on the issue, and of the few responses so far:
NASSIRIAN: The vast majority of the respondents are telling us that they will make case-by-case determinations, which bodes well for the current cohort of seniors.
Nassirian is with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
