- Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State certification criteria have been waived
- The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the discipline of the certification or degree
- Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals, and, if so, their qualifications
