The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, a federal law, requires local school systems to provide the parents of children information about the professional qualifications of any staff member, professional (teacher, guidance counselor etc.) or paraprofessionals (assistants) who provide instructional services to their children.  You may request information regarding their qualifications at any time by contacting your child’s principal in writing.
