Federal Programs and Complaint Procedures

     The Danville Area School District in accordance with the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2015 (formerly the Elementary and Secondary Education Act commonly referred to as No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) is hereby notifying parents/guardians of their rights to receive information regarding:

• student performance

• Individual school performance

• district performance

• teacher/staff qualifications

The District/School performance profiles which include aggregate information including student achievement, graduation rates, and school performance are posted on the Danville Area School District website and updated annually.

Individual student assessment reports on the PSSAs and Keystone exams are mailed or sent home to families each fall.  The assessment score reports provide parents/guardians with a detailed record of student achievement on state academic standards.

Each fall a public presentation of our District assessment results are presented at a public meeting and the School Report Card results are published on the District www.danvillesd.org and the State website (www.paschoolperformance.org). If a school has been identified as a “priority” or “focus” school, parents/guardians will receive individual notification via mail. This parent/guardian notification will provide notice to parents/guardians on how to access supplemental aids/services through our schools/community.

Parent/Guardian Involvement- Parents/Guardians are encouraged to participate in the education of their children.

• District Parental Involvement and Title I Parental Involvement Policies are reviewed annually.

• Policy and Educational Program input is sought each fall during Title I Parent/Guardian meetings.

• During the fall Title I parent/guardian meetings families are provided with an overview of our Title I programs. Suggestions for assisting the child throughout the school year are reviewed with parents/guardians.

Faculty Qualifications- All teachers and instructional assistants employed by the Danville Area School District meet or exceed the Federal requirements for highly qualified. Parents/guardians have the right to know the qualification/certification status of each teacher and instructional assistant who work within our Title I school. Parents/guardians may contact the individual building principal to verify qualification status for these employees.

Any questions regarding this annual notice or parent/guardian input regarding Federal Programs may be directed to the Primary School Principal, Mrs. Megan Geise, or the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Jason Moser, 570-271-3268.
