• As of July 2017, Georgia amended board rules to state that

charters and strategic waiver systems cannot waive certification requirements for Special Education Teachers. This means that all special education teachers are required to hold special education certification and –if issuing grades – demonstrate content area expertise.

The State of Georgia ensures that it has professional standards for all paraprofessionals working in any school, including qualifications that were in place on the day before the date of enactment of the Every Student Succeeds Act. In Georgia, a paraprofessional employed by a Georgia LUA, must meet one of the following requirements:

• Degree: Hold an associate’s degree or higher in any subject from a

Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC)-accepted accredited institution; or

• Coursework: Have complete two (2) years of college coursework

(sixty [60] semester hours) at a GaPSC- accepted accredited institution; or

• Content Area Test: Have passed the GACE Paraprofessional
• Assessment. If eligibility is established through the assessment, the

applicant must also hold a minimum of a high school diploma or GED equivalent.

September 19, 2017 17

Paraprofessionals do not have to be certified, but they must meet ESSA/ NCLB requirements.

A GN GNETS Und nder erstandi tanding ng IDEA EA and nd ES ESSA SA

What does IDEA say about qualifications? – from ESSA FAQs 01.18.17 D-1b. If the definition of “highly qualified” is no longer applicable to special education teachers, what are the federal requirements related to the professional qualifications of those teachers? Section 9214(d)(2) of the ESSA amended section 612(a)(14)(C) of the IDEA by incorporating the requirement previously in section 602(10)(B) that a person employed as a special education teacher in elementary school, middle school, or secondary school must: 1) have obtained full certification as a special education teacher (including certification

• btained through alternative routes to certification), or passed the State special

education teacher licensing examination and hold a license to teach in the State as a special education teacher, except that a special education teacher teaching in a public charter school must meet the requirements set forth in the State’s public charter school law; 2) not have had special education certification or licensure requirements waived on an emergency, temporary, or provisional basis; AND 3) hold at least a bachelor’s degree. Each State must continue to comply with these certification requirements during the 2016-2017 school year. (Updated May 4, 2016)

O.C.G.A. § 20-2-216 It shall be the duty of the local unit of administration to employ substitutes, including retired teachers in accordance with Code Section 47-3-127, who possess valid teaching certificates issued by the Professional Standards Commission. If no person holding a valid teaching certificate is available for this purpose, the local unit of administration is authorized to employ the person who most closely meets the requirements for certification as a teacher and who is available to serve as a substitute, provided such person is closely supervised by the school principal or principal's designee.

Because OCGA allows LEAs to hire substitutes who are the best candidates and who may or may not be certified, GaDOE and LEAs do not need to establish whether or not substitutes meet state certification requirements.

Are IN1T, IN2T, IN3T, and IN4T certificates considered provisional? Educators who hold IN1T, IN2T, IN3T, and IN4T have met or are actively working to meet GaPSC certification requirements. These certificates are not considered provisional for ESSA In-Field reporting purposes. What if an educator with an IN4T certificate has not yet passed the GACE? If an educator holding an IN4T certificate is actively enrolled in an alternative certification program, the educator is working to meet GaPSC certification requirements. This educator will be considered in-field for ESSA reporting purposes.

ESSA does not prescribe the exact method of dissemination for notifications. In Georgia, the following are considered best practices when notifying parents.

• Develop written procedures for compliance which include a timeline and

person, by position, responsible for verifying notification content, verifying dissemination of notification, and maintaining notification documentation.

• Notify parents in multiple formats in order to ensure that all parents have

the opportunity to receive the information. This may include, but is not limited to a LEA or school handbook, a letter mailed home, inclusion in a newsletter or brochure, posting on a website, and/or a school-wide email.

• Notify parents, to the extent practicable, in a language that they may
