Visiting committees may find that schools have completed their self-studies using the 2007 Manual for School Evaluation, which used a different ratings system and set of standards.  In this case, the Chair of the visiting committee (upon consultation with the Head of School and CIS staff) may choose to use either the 2012 or the 2007 version of the Visiting Committee Report template.  In their Chair kits, Chairs will receive both versions of the template which they may then distribute to their committee members as necessary.
