Qualified Teacher
 

The proposed regs state that neither the local school system nor VA DOE can be held responsible if the assigned teacher is not qualified to teach the special needs child in his/her classroom. How does this help the child, the family, and the state if the child does not receive appropriate instruction from a skilled, qualified teacher?
