At that time I asked what, if anything, the district is doing regarding his non-HQ status at a Title 1 School. T have yet to receive a response from staff on this important matter. Please request that a response be provided. also requested specific hire and license dates for your TFA hires. The public records officer dutifully passed along information provided to her by staff. The information transmitted contained many factual errors that are very concerning. I have notified the State Auditor that the status of district TFA teachers should be investigated, given the SAO findings in consecutive federal accountability audits that the district failed to comply with Title 1 grant requrements. ‘The district risks loss of federal grant funds if it places individuals without permits or certificates in Title 1 schools. I will also be following up with the Office of Professional Practices. You must exercise your duty to oversee district management on this issue. The questionable actions include: ‘+ Misrepresentation of information provided under a public records request; + Employment of individuals without required permits or certificates in place; ‘+ Placement of a non-HQ teacher in a core academic subject area in a Title 1 school. For what it's worth, I wll provide the clear language in the Washington Administrative Code that supports my statements, See the remarks, as well as scanned documents, in the email below.
