What are the requirements for principal and teacher signatures on the Annual Learning Plan (ALP)? If the ALP is developed electronically and sent by email, are the signatures still required?
As set out in Section 2 (5) of O. Reg. 98/02, both the teacher and the principal are required to sign the teacher’s ALP each year and retain a copy for their records. Boards may choose whether the ALP with electronic signatures, rather than original paper copy signatures, is acceptable. Either way, signatures provided by the principal and teacher are legally required.
