Dear Dr. King:
I am writing to acknowledge that staff members from the U.S. Department of Education have exchanged information and spoken directly with Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) officials about Missouri’s failure to submit accurate data on classes taught by highly qualified teachers (HQT) for the 2004-05 school year. The data submitted was inaccurate because it counted as highly qualified veteran elementary school teachers who were fully certified but had neither passed a State content test nor completed a “high objective uniform State standard of evaluation” (HOUSSE), as well as some secondary teachers, including special education teachers, who had not adequately demonstrated subject-matter competency. Missouri plans to put these teachers through the State’s HOUSSE procedures in the fall.
The DESE has committed to submit complete and accurate HQT data for the 2005-06 school year by November 1, 2006. All parties further acknowledge that Missouri will not submit complete, accurate data for the 2004-05 school year.
The Department will place a condition on Missouri’s ESEA Title I, Part A and Title II, Part A grants as a result of the State’s inability to submit accurate HQT data before the FY 2006 grants are awarded on July 1, 2006. The conditions will remain in force until such time as the DESE has submitted accurate HQT data. If the State fully complies with this requirement, we do not anticipate imposing any additional sanctions on Missouri regarding this issue.
In addition, the Department has determined that your State did not meet the 100 percent HQT goal by the end of the 2005-06 school year. The Department looks forward to reviewing the revised plan you will submit in July that details the specific steps you will take to reach the HQT goal in the 2006-07 school year and beyond.
Sincerely,
Henry L. Johnson
