A reminder to boards of education that a decision by a board employee that “significantly affects the education, health or safety” of a student may be appealed to the board by the student or their parents under section 11 of the School Act. Additionally, a decision of the board made under section 11 may be appealed to the Superintendent of Appeals. The Ministry has recently noticed an increase in board decisions being appealed to the Superintendent of Appeals. Resources to help boards navigate the process, including the Student Appeals Procedures Manual may be found on the student disputes and appeals web page.
