Accreditation Unclear On Area Schools In Iowa
Iowa school officials and representatives of the Nort Central Association met with state and federal education agencies to decide if Iowa law can ensure continued development of quality programs that meet NCA accreditation standards. The joint statement said agreement is possible, but it remains unsettled whether the programs would satisfy NCA requirements after the association withdrew accreditation from Burlington and Mason City and refused Clinton’s extension. John C. Kemble, 76, of Muscatine, died at Muscatine General Hospital. He was a barber, longtime resident, and survived by two daughters, a step-daughter, and several grandchildren. Funeral set for Monday at George M. Wittich funeral home with burial at Greenwood.
