Title I Parents' Right-to-Know
Kremlin-Hillsdale Schools receive federal funds for Title I,
Part A programs. As a parent of a student in a Title I
school, you have the right to know the professional qualifications
of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. Federal
law allows you to ask for certain information about your child's
classroom teachers, and requires the school to give you this
information in a timely manner. Specifically, you have the right to
ask for the following information about each of your child's
classroom teachers:
1. Whether the teacher meets
the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and
subjects he or she teaches.
2. Whether the teacher is
teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special
circumstances.
3. Whether the teacher has any
advanced degrees and the field of discipline of the teacher's
certification or degree.
If at any time your student has been taught for four (4) or more
consecutive weeks by a teacher that is not highly qualified, then
you will be notified by the school.
You also have the right to request information regarding the
qualifications of the paraprofessional(s) assisting your child's
teacher(s). If your child is receiving Title I, Part A
services from a paraprofessional, then our school is able to
provide you with the following information:
1. Whether the
paraprofessional has completed at least two years of study at an
institution of higher education.
2. Whether the
paraprofessional has completed an associate's degree (or
higher).
3. Whether the
paraprofessional has met a rigorous standard of quality through our
state's certification procedure for determining the quality of
paraprofessional staff.
4. Whether the
paraprofessional has:
(a) the knowledge of and
ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics
or
(b) the knowledge of and the
ability to assist in learning activities, such as homework, reading
readiness, writing, mathematics and other support as
appropriate.
