In accordance with the provisions of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal legislation, the Marion Central School District wishes to notify parents/guardians that all of Marion’s classroom teachers are highly qualified. All teachers hold a professional certificate from the State of New York. Parents will be contacted if an uncertified teacher, other than a short-term substitute, is assigned to their child’s class.

Parents/guardians who have questions regarding the qualifications of the children's teachers and teacher assistants providing services to students may find information on the State Education Department’s website (www.highered.nysed.gov). After accessing the site, go to Online Teacher Certificate Verification.

Parents/guardians may also request information about a teacher’s qualifications by sending a letter to Dr. Ellen Lloyd, Superintendent, at the Marion CSD, District Office, 4034 Warner Road, Marion, NY 14505.
