• Parent Right-to-Know Letter
    2012-2013
     
    Guidance C-6 is for Advising Parents of the Right to Know Information about a Teacher’s Qualifications as Required by The Elementary and Secondary Education Assistance Act of 1965 (ESEA) [Section 1111(6) (A)]
     
     
    Dear Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s):
     
    The Chattooga County School System is very proud of our teachers and feels they are ready for the coming school year and are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. As your child is enrolled in a Title I school, we must meet federal regulations related to teacher qualifications as defined in ESEA. These regulations allow you to learn more about your child’s teachers’ training and credentials. We are happy to provide this information to you. At any time, you may ask:
     
    • Whether the teacher met state qualifications and certification requirements for the grade level and subject he/she is teaching,
    • Whether the teacher received an emergency or conditional certificate through which state qualifications were waived, and
    • What undergraduate or graduate degrees the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or area(s) of concentration.
     
    You may also ask whether your child receives help from a paraprofessional. If your child receives this assistance, we can provide you with information about the paraprofessional’s qualifications. Our staff is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he/she needs to succeed in school and beyond. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals are highly skilled.
     
    If you have any questions about your child’s assignment to a teacher or paraprofessional, please contact me at (706) 857-7876  or bbeasley@chattooga.k12.ga.us.
     
     
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Brian Beasley, Principal
