Parents Right To Know

As a District receiving federal funds for Title I, it is our responsibility to inform parents that our school is obligated, if asked, to provide parents with the professional qualifications of their student's classroom teachers, including:

  • If the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject area taught.
  • If the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status in which State qualifications or licensing criteria are waived.
  • The teacher's baccalaureate degree major, graduate certification and field of discipline.
