Hi,


Another enquiry.
Lets say a parent has served at GRC A as EM for 2 years.
The parent then shifted to a condo at GRC B but continue as AM in GRC A.
Can the parent get PA letter of endorsement for priority registration to a primary school in GRC B.
This does not seem to be in conflict with any present rules.

Please advise factually.

Thanks.

The answer is no, reason being the volunteer must be in active service (EM status) and 2 years service period in order for PA to recommend him/her for awarding of letter of endorsement in the GRC they reside in.

Firstly, if you moves out of the GRC A and continue to serve as AM, you would not be qualified to be recommended in GRC A as you don't reside in GRC A.

Secondly, if the condo you are moving into do not have a NC, you cannot continue to serve as EM, you will not get recommended for GRC B as you don't fulfill the requirement of active service.

Hope this answer your queries.

correct me if i am mistaken,
Get GRC A's chariman to allow you to continue service in GRC A, as an EM, while you physically stay in GRC B.

Hi,


Thanks for the reply.

1. Just to confirm, AM cannot get the PA endorsement letter?

And it would be unfair to the observers at GRC A who were deemed to be suitable for EM position but unable to be promoted, due to lack of openings.

Yes.

Hi correct me if I’m wrong.


Based on my Understanding, yes you can get GRC A’s chairman to allow You to continue service but as an AM (not EM), while physically staying in GRC B.

Come p2b, you have to get the letter from your chairman in GRC A. The letter will state your residing address and you can use that letter to apply for schools in the GRC B where you reside in.

AM is still entitled to p2b letter but no voting rights

*AM is still entitled to p2b letter but no voting rights*

I quote the below source from an article from ChiefKiasu;

EM is a must before PA give you the chance to apply for letter of endorsement, it is not a given all EM will get that chance, and also not all apply will get approve by Advisor.

Unless there are new amendment to the GRL guideline, I remember AM is not entitled to GRL perks.

I have clarified with PA over this as it concerns me too. PA advised Am is still eligible for p2b. You might want to clarify with PA too.


Have a great day!

i just spoke to my CD.
she claimed that AM qualifies too.

and i re-read the 2016 email from my CM before that year's of Pri 1 application.
(i can't find the distinction between EM and AM, to be honest)
