3) Why does the School Board say that principals and teachers may not write reference letters?
The VSB has answered your question in an email that we received:
With the application deadlines approaching quickly, it has come to our attention that confusion continues to exist with regard to "letters of reference" for students wishing to apply for district programs.
Please be advised that, under no circumstances, should teachers, principals and vice principals be requested to provide letters of reference for students applying to district programs. As school staffs continue to be frantically meeting deadlines and tending to the needs of school communities, there is no time for any staff member to provide these letters.
