Human Resources District Update
As district we receive Title I funds that help to provide additional personnel to assist students in literacy. As a result, you have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher. These qualifications include:
Whether the teacher has met the Ohio teacher licensing criteria for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher provides your child instruction.
Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status that waives state licensing requirements.
The undergraduate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate degree or certification (such as National Board Certification) held by the teacher and the field of discipline of certification or degree.
Whether your child is provided services by instructional paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
