Parents may request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s/children’s classroom teachers and paraprofessionals including:
-Whether or not the teacher has met Kansas licensing criteria for the grade levels and
subject areas being taught.
-The baccalaureate degree and any other graduate certification or degree(s) and the
field of discipline of both.
-If services are provided by paraprofessionals, their qualifications.
-If the teacher is teaching under an emergency or professional waiver.
