NEWS RELEASE - Paige Announces $72 Million in Early Reading First Grants


In January 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. One of the provisions in this new law permits Title 1 parents to:

  • Request information regarding the professional qualifications of their students' teacher(s) and instructional assistants. Parents can ask for information about the major of the teacher and the field in which the teacher is certified.
  • Request information about the status of the teacher's state certification and licensing measures for the grade level and subject areas in which the teacher is teaching.

Parents can obtain information by submitting a request in writing to Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Public Information Office, 2644 Riva Road, Annapolis, MD 21401.

As Anne Arundel County changes to comply with the new federal legislation, we will continue to update you on this site. In the meantime, visit the federal government's website at www.nochildleftbehind.gov for more information.


No Child Left Behind Act: 
Access to Student Information

NOTICE TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND STUDENTS

The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires high schools to provide to military recruiters, upon request, access to names, addresses, and phone numbers of high school students. The law also requires high schools to release information to colleges or other higher learning institutions upon request. Board Policy 902.13 was revised on June 5, 2002, to allow for these disclosures.

If you do not want Anne Arundel County Public Schools to disclose this information without your prior written consent, you must fill out this form (in pdf format) and return it to your school. If your child is over 18, he or she must sign the form.  If your child’s school of enrollment changes, please file a form with the new school to be sure that it has your request on file.
 

A list of the guidelines on military recruiters’ and colleges’ access to information can be found at the following Dept. of Education Web site which provides Guidance on Access for and Disclosures to Military Recruiters. If you have any questions, please contact your school’s office.
