Information about the professional qualifications of the teachers/paraprofessionals in your student's classroom should include the following:

1. Whether the teacher has met state certification/qualification criteria for the grade level and subjects taught
2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state certification/qualification criteria are waived
3. The teacher is assigned in the field of discipline of the certification
4. Whether the student receives services from paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications

In addition to the above information, you will be notified if your student has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet applicable state certification requirements in the grade level and subject area in which the teacher was assigned. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Superintendent's Office at 903-668-5990.
