No Child Left Behind and FERPA

In accordance with the Federal Act, No Child Left Behind, Park View Elementary School is required to inform all parents/guardians of how to access the professional qualifications of your child’s teacher.  You may locate this information by going to the Parent Information section of the Bradley County Schools home web page: www.bradleyschools.org. 

The entire faculty at Park View is “highly qualified” and the school office has a listing of qualifications for each teacher.  

PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Every Student Succeeds Act or ESSA) requires that school districts notify parents of all children in all Title 1 schools of their right to request and receive timely information on the professional qualifications of your child(ren)’s classroom teachers.  This notice must be sent at the start of each school year.  The notices does not itself contain the teacher information; it simply lets parents know the types of information they may request.  At a minimum, if parents request the information must provide:

  • Whether the teacher has met state qualifying and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher is teaching;
  • Whether the teacher is teaching under the emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;
  • The teacher’s college degree major and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, including the field of discipline of the certificate or degree; and
  • Whether the child is provided services by a teacher assistant and, if so, the assistant’s qualifications.

In addition, if a child is assigned, or taught by, a teacher who is not “highly qualified” for four or more consecutive weeks, the parent must receive timely notice.
