Leave to appeal granted to challenge school board's refusal to identify student as gifted.
The appellants applied for leave to appeal to a Regional Special Education Tribunal regarding the Carleton Board of Education's identification of their child.
The parents argued the child should have been identified as gifted, while the Board maintained its Identification, Placement, Review Committee (IPRC) and Special Education Appeal Board acted properly.
The Tribunal granted leave to appeal, finding that the Board's reliance almost exclusively on a WISC-R test was too narrow, that there were procedural variations warranting re-examination, and that the Appeal Board improperly restricted the presentation of relevant information.
