Former Vernon school principal boosted student’s grades

VERNON — A former secondary school principal in Vernon has lost his teaching licence for one month after admitting he covertly boosted a student’s grades.

An investigation found Dolinar raised the grades of an unnamed student, affecting four courses taken by the student — and resulting in the youth being eligible for an academic award in 2012-2013, that would not otherwise have been given.

A teacher raised concerns about the grades last November prompting the investigation.
