	Choices & information for parents
	School report cards are available for all parents. These report cards include student test scores, parent surveys, goals and other valuable information. Under NCLB, these report cards will show whether the school made “adequate yearly progress.” Parents of students in Title I schools may ask about the qualifications of their child’s teacher. This includes information about the teacher’s license, certificate, and college background. Parents may also request information about any paraprofessional working with their child. If a Title I school does not make adequate yearly progress, the school’s federal funds can be used to find other ways to help students achieve. This may mean transferring the student to a better performing school or providing after-school programs like tutoring.
