Families’ Right-to-Know
At the beginning of each school year, districts shall notify in writing the families/guardians of students attending a Title I school that they may request, and the district will provide in a timely manner, information regarding the professional qualifications of their student’s classroom teachers, including, at a minimum:
-
Whether the teacher has met state qualification 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;
-
Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher; and
-
Whether the student is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
A school shall provide to each individual family/guardian:
-
Information on the student’s level of achievement and academic growth in each of the state academic assessments, as required under Title I, and
-
Timely notice that the student has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet state licensure requirements.
