Notice of Right to Know Teacher Qualifications

Date: September 30, 2019

RE: No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, Section 1111 (h)(6)(A)

Dear Parent/Guardian:

You have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher in a school receiving Title I funds. The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires that any local school district receiving Title I funds must notify parents that they may ask about the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher.

These qualifications include:

1.     Whether the teacher has met the Ohio teacher licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher provides your child instruction.
2.     Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status that waives state licensing requirements.
3.     The undergraduate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate degree or certification (such as National Board Certification) held by the teacher and the field of discipline of certification or degree.
4.     Whether your child is provided services by instructional paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

If you would like to request teacher qualifications, please contact the Groveport Administrative Office at the address or fax number at the top of this page. Be sure to include the following information with your request.

Child’s full name Parent/guardian full name Street Address, City, state, ZIP Teacher’s name

Sincerely,

Garilee Ogden
