Pursuant to the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), NCLB established the goal that all students would be proficient in math and reading within 12 years, by 2014. To this end, NCLB requires that school districts employ “highly qualified” teachers. All teachers in Southold fulfill the requirement for “highly qualified.” NCLB further requires the District to offer parents the opportunity to request information regarding the professional qualifications of their students’ teachers. If you would like to receive this information please send your request in writing to: Ms. Patricia DiGregorio, Personnel Department, PO Box 470, Southold, NY 11971.
