Butte County School District

                      Right to Receive Teacher Information 

October 2009 

Dear Parent: 

Federal law requires that each school district receiving Title 1 funds notify parents of each student attending any school receiving these funds that information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher(s) may be requested.    

As a parent of a student attending a school receiving federal program funds, you have the right to know: 

• Is my child’s teacher licensed to teach the grades and subject(s) assigned?

• Is my child’s teacher teaching with a provisional license, meaning the state has waived requirements for my child’s teacher? 

• What is the college major of my child’s teacher?

• What degree or degrees does my child’s teacher hold?

• If there are instructional aides working with my child, what are their qualifications?

• If my child is or will be taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks this year by a teacher who is not highly qualified, will I be notified in a timely manner?   

All of the teachers and paraprofessionals in Butte County School District meet federal and state “highly qualified” requirements. To request specific information about the qualifications of a teacher or paraprofessional, or information about one of the schools, please contact the principal of the respective school.
