NO
CHILD LEFT BEHIND INFORMATION
In
2002 the federal government passed the No Child Left Behind
Act. This law allows parents of children in Title One
schools to ask for certain information about their child's
teachers including:
 |
Whether
the Pennsylvania Department of Education has licensed the teacher
for the grades and subjects he or she teaches |
|
Whether
the Pennsylvania Department of Education has decided that the
teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or
qualified under State regulations because of special
circumstances |
|
The
teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced
degrees, and if so, the subjects of the degree |
|
The
qualifications of any instructional aide who provides services
to your child |
If
you would like to receive any of this information, please contact
Neshaminy School District's Human Resources Department at (215)
752-6380.
Section
1601 of the No Child Left Behind Act gives parent the
following rights:
|
The
right to preview "protected information" student
surveys and the right to opt the student out of taking such a
survey |
|
The
right to receive notice and to opt a student out of receiving
any non-emergency invasive physical examination not required
by law |
|
The
right to preview student data collection surveys for marketing
purposes and to opt a student out of taking such a survey |
|
The
right to inspect instructional materials used as part of a
school district's educational curriculum |
It
should be noted that Neshaminy School District does not authorize
use of such student surveys, does not authorize collection of
student data for marketing purposes, and does not authorize any
student medical examinations unless required by law.
Neshaminy
Board of School Directors
The
Neshaminy Board of School Directors conducts a public meeting each
month. These meetings are scheduled in several different
school buildings. Board Work Sessions are also held on a
monthly basis at the Board Room in the administrative section of
the Maple Point Middle School. Members of the public, who
want to address the Board, should arrive at the meeting a few
minutes early and sign their name on the "public comment
sheet." They will be called to the microphone in that
order. Information about when and where the meetings will be
held is listed on the district web page (www.neshaminy.k12.pa.us)
and on the windows of the school doors.
