What information about graduating students can be provided to Members of the Legislative Assembly?
• Schools can release the names of the graduating students to a Member of the Legislative Assembly under section 17(2)(j)(i) or (iii) and section 40(1)(b) of the Act. • Schools shouldn’t release the names of students who have asked that their personal information not be released. Normally such a request would have been made at the beginning of the school year or as part of graduation initiatives in schools. • Schools may obtain consent to release the addresses of students. Alternatively, elected officials can offer congratulations by including a letter in a grad kit, through the local media, by attending school ceremonies, and so on.
