Parents' Right to Know
Our School District receives Title 1 funding. Title 1 requires:
- Increased accountability for states and school districts.
- Greater flexibility for state and local education agencies in the use of federal funding.
Under Title 1, parents have a right to request professional qualifications of their children’s teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s). This letter is to inform you of your right to ask for the following information about your children’s classroom teachers or paraprofessionals:
- Whether Pennsylvania has appropriately certified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teachers.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which Pennsylvania licensing criteria have been waived.
- The teacher’s baccalaureate degree major and whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and if so, the subject of the degrees.
- Whether the child is provided service by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive specific information about your child’s teacher or paraprofessional, please contact your school principal or the Office of Talent and Employee Engagement at 717-291-6141.
Our District is fully committed to the success of your child. We appreciate your partnership in our efforts to provide the best education for your child.
