Parents Right to Know

  • Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status that waives state qualifications.
  • The teacher’s degree(s), major(s), and any graduate certification or degree held.
  • Whether your child is receiving services from paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
