Statement on District Highly Qualified Teachers
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 provides for all public schools to be staffed by highly qualified teachers. To this end, the Mad River School District has been working diligently to ensure that all core teachers meet the definition of a “highly qualified teacher.” This teacher holds a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, has obtained full state certification or licensure, and has demonstrated subject area competence in each of the academic subjects in which he or she teaches.

The Mad River Local School District is pleased to notify all of our parents that 100% of our core teachers meet the specific qualifications outlined in NCLB for “highly qualified,” 100% of instructional paraprofessional staff also meets the “highly qualified” standards.
