Parent Right to Know

Under ESSA, families with a student attending a Title I school have the right to request information about the professional qualifications of their students’ classroom teachers and paraprofessionals.

Families who would like to receive this information should write to the Human Resource Department, Attn: ESSA Teacher Qualifications, Robbinsdale Area Schools, 4148 Winnetka Ave. N., New Hope, MN 55427. Families have the right to ask for the following information about each of their student’s teachers:

• Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status, through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived
• Whether the teacher holds proper certification for the subjects or content they are teaching
• Whether the child receives services from paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
