The Title I Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), signed December 10, 2015, requires that school districts notify parents of students who attend a school that receives Title I federal funds of their right to request information regarding the qualifications of their children’s teachers and para-professionals. Please be advised that teachers in this District possess, minimally, a bachelor’s degree and/or master’s degree and hold the appropriate NYS certification required in their field. Para-professionals employed by the District also meet all NYS requirements. If your child attends a Title I school, you may obtain specific information about the school’s teachers by submitting a written request to your child’s Principal.
