CCISD tells families they can ask about teacher certification and must be notified when uncertified teachers teach four weeks
Summary
CCISD staff reminded families of federal rights: parents can ask about a teacher's certification for grade/subject, and must be informed if a child is taught four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher not fully certified for that assignment.
The presenter explained families' rights under federal law and said parents "have the right to ask about the qualifications of the educators in your child's classroom," including whether a teacher is certified for the specific grade and subject. He added that schools must inform parents in a timely manner if a child has been taught for four or more weeks in a row by a teacher who does not yet meet state certification requirements for that assignment.
The presenter encouraged parents to view asking about qualifications as a normal part of partnership with schools and noted that schools may provide translated information or language support so families can participate.
