Question:   Is the LEA responsible for processing the background check for providers?

Answer:   Tutors not employees of school systems must have background checks by accessing www.cogentid.com and following the link for information relevant to the Alabama State Department of Education. Fingerprint clearance or written verification for system employees must be on file with the SES provider for monitoring purposes. The tutor or the SES provider is responsible for any fees resulting from this requirement. For answers to additional questions regarding fingerprinting, contact the Alabama Department of Education, Teacher Education and Certification office at (334) 353-8567.


Question:   Must Title I schools in improvement in Delay status send parent notification letters 14 days before the beginning of school and continue to offer either school choice or access to supplemental educational services or both?

Answer:   YES. Until the Title I school completely progresses out of the improvement status, it must continue to send parent notification letters in a timely fashion and offer parents access to whatever options were available to parents the previous year.
