Annual Parent Notice

Right to Request Teacher Qualifications

Dear Parent or Guardian

Our schools receive federal funds for Title I programs that are part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Throughout the school year, we will continue to provide you with important information about this law and your child’s education.

You have the right to request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher(s). If you request this information, the district or school will provide you with the following as soon as possible:

1. if the teacher has met state licensing requirements for the grade level and subjects in which the teacher is providing instruction;

2. if the teacher is teaching under an emergency status for which state licensing requirements have been waived;

3. the type of college degree major of the teacher and the filed of discipline for any graduate degree ore certificate; and

4. if you child is receiving Title I services from paraprofessionals and, if so, his/her qualifications.

If you would like to request this information, please contact your child’s school.

Thank you for your interest and involvement in your child’s education.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Stevens, Ed. D

Superintendent

Hereford Independent School District
