  • In January of 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act
    (NCLB), the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
    A provision of this new Title I law requires all districts to notify parents of all children
    in all Title I schools that they have the right to request and receive timely information
    on the professional qualifications of their chilren's classroom teachers. This requirement
    applies to all Title I schools, both Targeted Assistance and School wide.
