Parents Right to Know

PARENT/GUARDIAN RIGHT-TO-KNOW

The parents or guardians of any student who attends a school within the Emanuel County School System may request information regarding the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teacher, including a description of the professional certificate held by the teacher for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction, whether or not the teacher is teaching under a provisional or probationary certificate issued by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, and information regarding the educational background of the teacher, including a description of the teacher’s undergraduate degree and major and graduate degrees, if any, with graduate fields of study or additional certification areas.  Parents may also request information regarding any paraprofessionals working with the student’s teacher or teachers and the qualification of such paraprofessionals.  Any requests for the qualifications of the teacher or paraprofessional should be submitted in writing to the Principal of the school which the child attends and should be delivered by regular mail or personally to the Principal or any Assistant Principal of the school which the student attends.
