Out-of-Field Teaching Assignments

Dear West Pasco Education Academy School Families,

Pasco County Schools is required to notify parents if their student is
receiving instruction from a teacher who is teaching outside of their
certified field. Individuals who are teaching out-of-field are qualified to
teach but are required to take additional coursework or testing to add a
teaching area and/or endorsement to their certificate. The state also
requires a teacher to take coursework or in-service towards an English for
Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) endorsement when the teacher is the
primary language arts teacher and/or reading teacher for an ESOL student.

The following teachers have agreed to teach outside their field while
completing their coursework and/or testing requirements:

Last Name First Name

Principal, West Pasco Education Academy
