I've served on multiple NEASC visits. They do notice whether there is a teacher librarian among the faculty, and how that librarian functions (babysitter for study halls vs. collaborator). Yes, they make a note of it in their report and can make recommendations. But it is up to the administration how they want to address any recommendations.

It's actually a standard that has to be addressed in the report:

Standard 4, Principle 4


All students receive library/information services that support their learning from adequate, certified/licensed personnel.


Obviously the visiting team must address the standard, what's written in the narrative report, and then observe/interview to determine if what the NEASC team has written is accurate and if they've scored themselves accurately.  The visiting team then has to make recommendations or determine if this area is an identified area for improvement.  It is then up to the school/school board/admin to address these issues before the accreditation visit.

Good afternoon, I have a quick question. Are high schools required to have a full-time certified librarian in order to maintain accreditation?  Thanks.
