Title I Parents Right-to-Know Notification

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 gives parents the right to request and receive information on the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers and paraprofessionals. This includes information about whether the child’s teacher:

• has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;
• is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;
• is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher; and
• is teaching alongside paraprofessionals. If so, the paraprofessional’s qualifications can be requested.

In addition, Title I schools must provide notice to parents on their child’s level of achievement and academic growth on required state assessments. Title I parents must also be notified if their child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet the applicable state certification requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned.
