Accreditation at risk in dispute Picketing feared at Marlborough High

Union unrest could cause Marlborough High School to lose its accreditation, school officials say.
School Committee member Margaret Dwyer said the school system has until noon tomorrow to alert the New England Association of Schools and Colleges about whether teachers plan to picket a visit scheduled for next week by the association as part of the accreditation process.
Dwyer said the schools association has said that if there is picketing, members will cancel the visit because they will not cross a picket line.
If the visit is canceled, Dwyer said, it may not be rescheduled for as a long as a year, which would leave the school without accreditation and jeopardize students trying to apply to colleges.
