Issued by EarthPilot, an independent project that keeps a public record of which United States school districts permit corporal punishment. This is recognition, not an accreditation, and it is granted on the district's own published policy, which anyone can check: the policy as read. If any of it is wrong, write to us and we will correct the public record.
