Parents’ Right to Know Regarding Teacher Qualifications

ANNUAL NOTIFICATION

To Parents/Guardians:

Your child is attending a school receiving Title I federal funds through the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The ESSA replaced the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and is the latest reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). At the beginning of each school year, local educational agencies receiving Title I funds are required to notify
parents whose student(s) attend a Title I school that they may request information regarding the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teachers, including at a minimum:

1. Whether the student’s teacher:

  1. Has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;
  2. Is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and
  3. Is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher.

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

If you would like this information, please contact your child’s Principal at 845-744-2031 and the extension listed below or visit the website: pinebushschools.org.
