RECRUITMENT/HIRING RULES AND
REGULATIONS
The Superintendent will ensure that all employee manuals or handbooks
are in compliance with federal law and include:
-
The education and
experience required of all new instructional employees;
-
Any credentials that
current staff must acquire;
-
A timetable for the
satisfaction of any new requirements;
-
The consequences for
employees who fail to comply.
All employees are to be advised of the revisions of the handbooks or
manuals and of any implications for existing personnel.
The
Superintendent will ensure that parents/guardians of students in Title I
schools are informed of their right to know the professional
qualifications of their child’s teacher and will describe where and how
this information may be obtained. The superintendent will monitor Title
I schools to ensure that parents/guardians of all students are notified
when those students are taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a
teacher who is not highly qualified as defined by law.
Staffing patterns will be reviewed annually to ensure that poor and
minority students are not, at higher rates than other children in the
district, taught by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field
teachers. If such patterns are noted, strategies to correct the problem
will be developed.
