The Huffington Post (11/6) reports that DC Public Schools officials recently mailed letters to parents "informing them if their child was being taught by a core subject area teacher who has not met the 'highly qualified' definition. The document also contained instructions for how to access information on the non-highly qualified status of said teacher." The piece notes that districts are required under NCLB to "notify parents or legal guardians when their child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who has not satisfied the requirements to be deemed 'highly qualified.'"
**Note: Why would the parents of the non-highly qualified teachers need to be contacted?
