                          KLICKITAT SCHOOL DISTRICT
                           2007-2008 ANNUAL NOTICES


Professional Qualifications of Teachers
Klickitat School District implements a school-wide Title I program. For 2007-2008,
federal Title I funds are intended to support instructional assistants assigned to the
elementary school. Title I rules require that parents be notified that they may request
information regarding the professional qualifications of the student's classroom teachers.
Parents desiring such information should contact Jerry Lynch, Superintendent, as shown
above.

Highly Qualified Standards for Teachers and Paraprofessionals
Federal legislation, typically referred to as the No Child Left Behind law requires that
students in school buildings served with the use of Title I funds be served by teachers and
paraprofessionals meeting a rigorous set of standards referred to as the High Qualified
Standards. The same rules also require that parents be notified if a child has been
assigned to be taught or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher
who is not Highly Qualified and those parents be informed about the child's progress in
each of the state academic assessments in such circumstances. It is important for parents
of Klickitat School District to know that all teachers and paraprofessionals (instructional
assistants) meet the appropriate Highly Qualified Standards.

does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, martial
