Parents' Right to Know

PARENTS’ RIGHT TO KNOW

Parents may request information regarding the professional qualifications of a student’s classroom teachers, including:

• Whether the teacher has met State qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.

• The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.

• Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

• Information on the level of achievement of the parent’s child in each of the State academic assessments as required under this part.

Please contact Randy Smiley at 386-2358 to answer any questions you may have concerning the qualifications of your child’s teacher.
