Get a reference of a reference! When interviewing and screening candidates it may be necessary to get a reference of a reference in order to ensure better quality. I had never really thought of this. I still want to know what is legal to discuss with the new employer and what is ethical. If the information is true, how could you not give it to the interviewer. I understand there are legal issues when it comes to personnell issues, but could we get those clearly defined? It seems that if we are "here for the kids" then protecting a bad/incompetent teacher is ethically wrong. I think I would be an "off the record" person.

i also agree with the whole getting a reference for a reference, to make sure you are getting a quality person.
