A Letter of Permission (LOP) is an authorization that allows an uncertified person to teach in a particular school district or independent school authority or for a First Nations school. With a revised new policy, the Director of Certification may issue an LOP for one school year or for up to three school years. The updated LOP policy is now available. If you are preparing to request an LOP for the upcoming school year, please use the updated Request for a Letter of Permission – Employer Form.
