Parent's Right to Know:

The Title I Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB) of 2002, requires that school districts notify parents of each student attending a school receiving Title I federal funds that they may request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s teacher(s).
Specifically included is your right to know to the following:

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 field of discipline of the certification or degree; and
Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

If you would like information on the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher(s) in a Title I School, please contact the Superintendent in writing or call 716-792-2173
