Certified and Uncertified Staff (e.g. administrators, teachers, counselors, support staff, coaches, paraprofessionals, etc.)  Assignment Questions

Annually, as a component of school district accreditation, the WDE verifies that all certified staff (e.g. administrators, teachers, support staff, coaches, etc.)  are appropriately assigned for the subject area and grade level(s) they are assigned to, and that all courses offered by Wyoming schools are taught by a Wyoming certified teacher.
