"Out-of-Field" Teachers
Teachers are occasionally placed in instructional positions for which they have not completed all of the requirements to earn certification from the Florida Department of Education. Teachers, for example, who move from another state, may be listed as out-of-field until their records are reviewed by FLDOE or until they take a Florida certification exam. Teachers who are listed as out-of-field are required to work toward certification according to Department of Education requirements.
All students in the classroom of a teacher who is out-of-field must be notified in writing. If your child is placed in the classroom of a teacher who is listed as out-of-field on the school’s website or in the school’s newsletter, you have the right to request that your child be transferred to an in-field teacher’s classroom who is teaching within the school and grade the student is currently enrolled in the field in which they are certified.
To make this request, a parent must write a letter addressed and delivered to the school's principal stating their child’s name and grade, the name of the out-of-field teacher, and the subject area for which the teacher is out-of-field. In this letter, the parent shall request that their child be transferred to an in-field teacher’s classroom in the same grade and school that the child is currently attending. The principal must respond within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed two weeks, if an in-field teacher for that course is employed by the school and if the transfer does not violate the maximum class size according to Florida State Statutes and Constitution. The parent does not have the right to choose a specific teacher. If the request for transfer is denied, for any reason, the school must notify the parent and specify the reasons for the denial. (Florida Statute 1012.42)
The list of all out-of-field teachers is listed on SJCA’s website and is updated as soon as teachers are hired and identified as out-of-field. St. Johns Classical Academy recruits and hires the best teachers possible and works to insure that all teachers meet certification requirements for the subject they are teaching as quickly as possible. The complete list is available here.
School Representative
Florida Statute 1002.33 requires each charter school’s governing board to appoint a school representative to facilitate parental involvement with the school, provide access to school information, assist parents and others with questions and concerns about the school, and resolve disputes with the school.
The representative must reside in the school district in which the charter school is located and may be a governing board member, a charter school employee, or an individual contracted to represent the governing board. The SJCA Board of Directors has appointed: Kendra Chaney - parent.liaison@stjca.org
