Back to Board Policies

Official employment references regarding former employees and current employees who are seeking employment elsewhere shall be issued, through the Director of Human Resources, under the supervision of the Superintendent. In response to inquiries from prospective employers, a letter setting forth the dates of employment and the position(s) held during the time of employment will be issued without any other employment-related information being issued, either in writing or through verbal communications. The letter to prospective employers shall be the only District sanctioned and official employment reference response.

Except as described above in this policy, District officials, administrators and employees shall be without authority to issue official employment reference letters or otherwise make an employment reference on behalf of the District and will not be acting within the scope of their employment if they do so.
