Parents' Right to Know Educator Qualifications

August, 2026

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Our LEA is required to inform you of information that you, according to the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-95), have the right to know. Upon your request, our LEA is required to provide to you in a timely manner, the following information:

•       Whether your student’s teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the
grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

•       Whether your student’s teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status
through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.

•       Whether your student’s teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the
teacher.

•       Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

In addition to the information that parents may request, a building receiving Title I.A funds must provide to each individual parent:

•       Information on the level of achievement and academic growth of your student, if applicable
and available, on each of the State academic assessments required under Title I.A.

•       Information regarding any State or LEA policy regarding student participation in any
assessment required under ESEA section 111(b)(2) and by State or LEA, including a policy,
procedure, or parental right to opt the child out of such assessment, where applicable.

•       Timely notice that your student has been assigned or has been taught for four or more
consecutive weeks by a teacher who has not met applicable State certification or licensure
requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned.

Sincerely,

David LeMay
