The determination as to whether the actual duties of the head-start teacher correspond to one of the 18A-1-1(c) categories should be made on a case by case basis.

Further, aside from the employment issue, it is highly unlikely that the duties of a parent worker would rise to the level of a “professional educator” as set forth in 18A-4-1.
