Re: Parent Right to Know Letter
As a parent of a student at Sedalia Elementary, you have the right to know the professional
qualifications of the classroom teacher who instructs your child. This is a requirement for all
districts that receive Title I funds. Federal law allows you to request certain information about
your student’s classroom teacher. The law also requires the district to give you this information
in a timely manner upon request. Listed below is the information about which you have the
right to ask for regarding each of your student’s classroom teachers.
• Whether the Colorado Department of Education has licensed or endorsed your
student’s teacher for the grades and subjects taught.
• Whether CDE has decided that your student’s teacher can teach in a classroom without
being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of special circumstances.
• The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and, if so,
the subject of the degrees.
• Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraeducators provide services to your child
and, if they do, their qualifications.
Please contact Jeff Johnson at 303-387-5505 or [email protected] if you would like to receive any of this information.
