(Des Moines)– Some northwest Iowa school districts will receive a share of $600,000 in competitive grants through the Iowa Department of Education and its Credentials to Careers Grant program. Le Mars, Sibley-Ocheyedan and South O’Brien are among the 24 community school districts awarded the funding.
