Title I
PARENT’S RIGHT TO KNOW
School
districts are required to notify parents of ALL children in ALL Title I schools
in the beginning of each year, that parents have the right to request and
receive timely information on the professional qualifications of the student’s
classroom teachers. This requirement
applies to all parents of the children in the school-whether or not the
students receive Title I services-and all Title I schools, both targeted
assistance and schoolwide.
Norman
County East is a Schoolwide school using Federal Title I monies to assist our
students.
When a
parent requests information on their child’s classroom teacher’s professional
qualifications, districts must respond in a timely manner, to the requested
information, at a minimum, report the following:
·
Whether
or not the teacher has met Minnesota’s licensing requirements for the grade
level and core academic subject they teach.
·
Whether
or not the teacher is teaching under a variance status.
·
The
education level and subject area of the teacher’s college degree major and any
graduate degree or certificate held.
·
Whether
the child is provided services by paraprofessionals, and if so, their
qualifications.
Schools that
receive Title I funds shall provide to each parent:
·
Information
on the level of achievement of the parent’s child on the state academic
assessments.
·
Timely
notice that the parent’s child has been assigned, or has been taught for four
or more consecutive weeks, by a teacher who is not highly qualified.
This
information provided to parents shall be in an understandable and uniform
format and, to the extent practicable, provided in a language that the parents
can understand.
This
notification must take place at the start of each school year.
