SEARCH reference question

Post by shopaholic »

What if...I have multiple good references from my current school, but no references from the school where I worked 5 years ago?

The school where I worked 5 years ago is now closed, and the director had been fired from his post, and refuses to answer emails from anyone who once worked there. And the school was very, very tiny (less than 30 kids in k-12).

SEARCH requires an admin reference from that school because I worked there in the past 6 years, it seems.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do?

I would contact your associate and inform them of this. I would imagine they would "wave" that small portion of the app. IMO you should be fine with your current school's LoR's

You need to discuss this with your associate, and likely this requirement can be waived/exempted.
