Welcome to Governor Mifflin School District's Right-To-Know web site. Below you will find our guidelines and links to important information about Pennsylvania's new Right-To-Know law.
Title I Update
All Governor Mifflin schools receive Title I funding and are included under the regulations of the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB) that was signed into law by President Bush on January 8, 2002.
NCLB requires:
-
Increased accountability for states and school districts
-
Greater choice for parents, especially those in low-performing schools
-
Greater flexibility for statte and local education agencies in the use of federal funding
Under NCLB, parents have a right to request professional qualifications of their children's teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s). Please note that you have the right to ask for the following information about your children's classroom teachers or paraprofessionals:
-
Whether Pennsylvania has licensed the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches
-
Whether or not the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which Pennsylvania licensign criteria have been waived
-
The teacher's baccalaureate degree major and whether or not the teacher has any advanced degrees, and if so, the subject of the degrees
-
Whether or not the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications
Parents who would like to receive specific information about their child's teacher or paraprofassional should contact their child's school principal.
Our district is fully committed to the success of your child. We appreciate your partnership in our efforts to provide the best education for your child.
