H. What are the NCLB's requirements for teachers and paraprofessionals in charter schools and nonpublic schools?
  1. CHARTER SCHOOLS. Until the U.S. Department of Education issues final regulations and related guidance, SED is advising charter schools receiving Title I funds to meet the NCLB's requirements pertaining to teachers and paraprofessionals.

  2. NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS. Teachers and paraprofessionals working in nonpublic schools do not have to meet the NCLB's requirements concerning their qualifications. This is true even when nonpublic school students receive Title I services on an equitable basis from the LEA or a neutral third party provider by contract with the LEA.
