Parent's Right to Know

Parent’s Right to Know

As the parent or guardian of a student enrolled in Greenville County Schools, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers and instructional assistants who instruct your child. Federal law allows you to ask for the following information about your child’s classroom teachers and requires the District to give you this information in a timely manner:

• whether a teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;

• whether a teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived;

• the baccalaureate degree major of a teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree;

If you would like to receive this information, please call the Human Resources Department.
