Schools, colleges, and universities are directly involved in the educational process. Special schools for the physically handicapped or the mentally retarded, as well as vocational and trade schools and educational radio and television stations, are among the educational institutions which directly contribute to the educational development of a district, town, city, county, or other governmental jurisdiction. Child care centers not only provide education benefits but also may promote economic development and public safety. Central administrative and service facilities of school systems are equally necessary to successfully carry out and improve education.
Federal Property Management Regulations states:
Approved means recognition and approval by the State department of education, or other appropriate authority where no recognized accrediting board, association, or other authority exists for the purpose of making an accreditation. For an educational institution or an educational program, approval must relate to academic or instructional standards established by the appropriate authority. An educational institution or program may be considered approved if its instructions and credits therefore are accepted by three accredited or State-approved institutions, or if it meets the academic or instructional standards prescribed for public schools in the State; i.e. the organizational entity or program is devoted primarily to approved academic, vocational (including technical or occupational), or professional study and instructions, which operates primarily for educational purposes on a full-time basis for a minimum school year as prescribed by the State and employs a full-time staff of qualified instructors.
In the absence of an official State approving authority for educational institution or program, the awarding of research grants to the institution or organization by a recognized authority such as the National Institute of Education, or by similar national advisor council or organization may constitute approval of the institution or program provided all other criteria are met.
Accredited means approval by a recognized accrediting board or association on a regional, State, or national level, such as a State board of education; a regional or national accrediting association for universities, colleges, or secondary schools; or another recognized accrediting association.
