Presenters review parents' rights to ask about teacher qualifications and ways to give input
Summary
District staff told families they have the right to ask about teachers' certifications and must be notified if a student is assigned to an uncertified teacher for four consecutive weeks; they also listed practical ways families can submit feedback on Title II-A uses.
Presenter asked specifically about parental rights, and the staff member said federal rules allow families to ask about a teacher’s qualifications, such as whether the teacher holds the appropriate certificate for the subject or grade. The staff member also confirmed families should be informed if a child is taught for four consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet state certification requirements for that assignment.
On engagement, staff listed options for families to provide input on Title II-A uses: surveys, parent nights, family engagement events, parent advisory committees, and site committees. The presenters noted districts can provide translation and language support to ensure families who speak other languages can participate.
