Title 1 at Pine Run
Parents’ Right to Know Regulations 200.61
September 2025
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your child’s school receives Federal Title I funding which is governed by regulations of the “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA).
Under ESSA, parents have a right to request professional qualifications of their children’s teacher(s) or paraprofessional(s). This letter is to inform you of your right to ask for the following information about your children’s classroom teachers:
Whether the teacher met state qualification and certification requirements for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;
Whether the teacher received an emergency or conditional certification through which qualifications were waived: and
What undergraduate or graduate degrees the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or area(s) of concentration.
Additionally, you may ask whether your child receives help from a paraprofessional and, if so, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive specific information about your child’s teacher or paraprofessional, please contact your school principal, Mrs. Amy M. Adelman (aadelman@cbsd.org).
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.
Sincerely,
Cassandra Oshinsky
Supervisor of MTSS, Federal Programs, Data, and Assessment
