Notice of Right to Know Teacher Qualifications

Date: August 2023

RE: Every Student SucceedsAct (Public Law 114-95), Section 1112 (e)(1)(A)

Dear Parent/Guardian: You have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher in a school receiving Title I funds. The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB)Act requires that any local school district receiving Title I funds must notify parents that they may ask about the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher.

These qualifications include:

1. Whether the teacher has met the Ohio teacher licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher provides your child’s instruction.
2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status that waives state licensing requirements.
3. The undergraduate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate degree or certification (such as National Board Certification) held by the teacher and the field of discipline, certification or degree.
4. Whether your child is provided services by instructional paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

If you have further questions, please return this letter to the address listed above. Or you may contact the building principal or secretary. Be sure to give the following information with your request.

Child’s full name: ______________________________________________________________ Parent/Guardian full name: ______________________________________________________ Address: ____________________________________________________________________ City, State, Zip: _______________________________________________________________ Teacher’s Name: ______________________________________________________________

Sincerely,

Heath Butler , Principal
