ESSA Notification Addressing Professional Qualifications
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act( ESSA) which was signed into law in December 2015 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1956( ESEA), parents have a right to request to review the professional qualifications of their children’ s teachers and paraprofessionals. Parents have the right to ask for the following information:
• Whether the teacher met state qualifications and certification requirements for the grade level and subject he / she is teaching,
• Whether the teacher received an emergency or conditional certificate through which state qualifications were waived, and
• What undergraduate or graduate degrees the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major( s) or area( s) of concentration.
You may also ask whether your child receives help from a paraprofessional. If your child receives this assistance, we can provide you with information about the paraprofessional’ s qualifications.
