Parents' Right to Know
Teacher Qualifications

Christina School District believes all students should be taught by highly qualified staff in all of our schools.  Parents have a right to know if their child’s teacher meets these standards. Federal Law ensures this right for parents who have children in schools that receive funds from the federal Title I program.  Parents who are interested in learning about any of the following information may submit a request and the information will be sent to them:

• Whether the teacher has met state qualifying and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher is teaching;

• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;

• The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, including the field of discipline of the certification degree; and

• Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessional and, if so, their qualifications.
