As
a parent of a student in a Meriwether County School, you have the right
to know the professional qualifications of your child's teacher.
Federal Law allows you to inquire and receive this information in a
timely manner. You may ask:
-
Whether the Georgia Department of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he/she teaches.
-
Whether
the Georgia Department of Education has decided that the 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 hears any advanced degrees and if so, the subject of the degree.
-
Whether any teacher's aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.
If you have questions, please contact William Edgar at 706.672.4297 or william.edgar@mcssga.org
