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 .
