In accordance with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Parents’ Right-to-Know provisions, Seguin ISD notifies parents of students attending Title I schools that they have the right to request and receive, in a timely manner, information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teachers and paraprofessionals.

Information provided upon request shall include:

• Whether the teacher has met state certification and qualification requirements for the grade level and subject areas taught

• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state certification requirements have been waived

• Whether the teacher is assigned in the field or discipline of their certification

• Whether the student receives services from a paraprofessional and, if so, the paraprofessional’s qualifications
  (ESSA §1112(e)(1)(A)(i)–(ii))

Teachers may meet certification requirements through Seguin ISD’s approved District of Innovation teacher certification policy or by meeting Texas Education Agency certification assignment rules.

Parents may request this information by contacting the Department of State & Federal Programs.

In addition, parents will be notified if their child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet applicable state certification requirements for the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned.
(ESSA §1112(e)(1)(B)(ii))
This notification will be provided by the campus principal.
