A Sevier schools accredited despite concerns raised by Mavanee Loftus High schools in Sevier School District are accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges despite concerns raised by an article published last week in The Salt Lake Tribune about accreditation. The article said that nine Utah schools and three special-purpos- e schools were on a warned status for the 1996-199- 7 school year. North Sevier High School was warned for turning in an annual report late, according to the article, and Richfield High School was warned for high class loads, a high counselor student ratio, an inadequate number of periodicals in the media center and not enough media personnel. After the article appeared in The Tribune, Connie Love, accreditation specialist of the Utah State Office of Education, called me to apologize that North Sevier High School was mentioned in the article, said Myron Mickelson, principal of North Sevier High School. She said she felt it shouldnt have been included with the other schools that were warned. The report in question was turned over a year ago. It was the annual accreditation report that the association uses to determine if schools are meeting minimum educational standards, said Mickelsen. As soon as the State Office notified us the report was late, we prepared it and sent it off, he said. I had no idea the school was listed on a warning status because of that report, said Mickelsen. Richfield High School was also unaware it was on a warned status, according to Principal Teresa Robinson. The high school was forand evaluamally evaluated in tions made after that time are made by the high school that are turned in as 1989-199- 0, the annual accreditation said report, Robinson. We need to talk to Love to find out what warning status really means and why we werent made aware of it. Our calls to the State Office havent been returned, said Duane Bresee, assistant superintendent of schools in Sevier School District. A phone call was received from Love at Richfield High School Monday morning. She attempted to speak with Robinson who was in a meeting at the time. Love left a message that Richfield High School is accredited.

Public education in Utah has been underfunded for years, said Superintendent Brent Thorne of Sevier School District. We arent the only school in Utah operating with inadequate funding, he said. Parents and students can be assured Seviers high schools are accredited. Its important that they remain accredited so that our students can transfer credit to other schools and be accepted into colleges and universities, said Duane Bresee, Assistant Superintendent.
