Parents may request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s/children’s classroom teachers and paraprofessionals.

Professional qualifications include:

· Whether or not the teacher has met Kansas licensing criteria of the grade levels and subject areas being taught:

· The baccalaureate degree and any other graduate certification or degree in 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.

We are pleased to inform you that all teachers at Munson Primary School and Mulvane Grade School meet the above criteria. Each one is licensed for the grade levels and subject areas being taught. Each one has a baccalaureate degree and none are teaching under an emergency or provisional waiver.
