There are a few possibilities why you might have come across an age recommendation, for example your cluster board or HR is responding to an observed trend of underperforming middle managers in a particular school or group of schools, and gives a targeted recommendation to the Principal(s) concerned about their MM development process. And maybe when this message was cascaded down to you, you may have interpreted it as a HR guideline.

It could have been a targeted message to specific schools of concern, but it is definitely not a system-wide message from HR.
I won’t be surprised that there’s a soft rule on age requirement for KPs. I was applying for enhanced posting. 33 this year but many SLs commented that I’m young to be applying for the job. And then later nuance their position a bit more by saying that oh but what counts more is your experience. Anyway long story short, passed cluster Supt interview and posted as a cross level deployed KP and would have started next year but have decided to leave service instead (story for another time). The main thing is: why is age even a consideration if the bar is GEO4 and I was already GEO4.
