- Public Reporting of Progress for GPISD in Meeting Highly Teacher Requirements
The
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires each local education
agency (LEA) to publicly report progress of the LEA and its campuses
toward meeting the highly qualified (HQ) teacher requirements. The
2005-2006 Highly Qualified Teacher Reports for LEAs and individual
campuses are available on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) NCLB web
site at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/nclb/hqreport.html. Please note that there are three applicable reports for each LEA and on report per campus.
