School districts must take steps to make sure students, families and employees know about their rights. Not only is this required by law, but it helps families and staff know how to resolve concerns at the local level. We hope you find the following information helpful as we get ready to start the new school year.
Parents at the Grandview School District may request teacher and/or para qualifications at your students school or may contact the GSD Human Resources Department.

Whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or other provisional status through which Washington qualifications or certification criteria have been waived. 3.
