Notification for Parents Whose Students Attend Title 1 Schools (‘Parent’s Right To Know’)
Dear Parents:
The federal education law put in place by the Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires that all parents in a Title I school be notified and given the opportunity to request information about the professional qualifications of classroom teachers and paraprofessionals instructing their child. You may also request information on the level of achievement and academic growth of the student, if applicable and available, on each of the State academic assessments. The school district is required to give you this information in a timely manner if you ask for it.
Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:
Whether the Ohio Department of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
Whether the Ohio Department of Education has decided that the teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under the state regulations because of special circumstances.
The teacher’s college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees.
Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if they do, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive any of this information, please call the district office at 330-947-2664.

The Waterloo Local School District engages in a thorough process of review of the technology provider contracts to work to the best of its ability to ensure the technology providers are complying with state and federal laws as applicable, including, but not limited to FERPA (20 USC 1232g et al.), Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ORC §3319.321, ORC §3319.326.
