Parents Right to Know Policy
by Jill Miller
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
The No Child Left Behind Law mandates notification to parents of any school that does not meet (AYP) Adequate Yearly Progress on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test. School Improvement Plans are developed annually to provide goals to meet AYP. East Alton District # 13 School Report Card and School Improvement Plans are available for review at www.easd13.org or at the elementary or central office.
PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW
In accordance with ESEA Section 1111(h)(6) PARENTS RIGHT-TO-KNOW, the
EastAlton School District 13 would like to notify every parent of a student in a Title I school that you have the right and may request information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher. This information regarding the professional qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers including, at a minimum, the following:
1. Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade
levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status
through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.
3. The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate
certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the
certification or degree.
4. Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their
qualifications.
If at any time your child has been taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher not highly qualified, the school will notify you.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact your district Title I Director, Jill Miller, at 618/433-2199.
