Leave to appeal to regional tribunal granted due to significant controversy over student's identification and placement.
The applicants sought leave to appeal to a regional tribunal regarding the identification and placement of their child as an exceptional pupil.
The parents and the school board disagreed on whether the child should be identified as 'educably retarded', 'multi-handicapped', or having a severe learning disability, and whether the current special education placement was appropriate.
The Tribunal found significant controversy between the parties and noted the Appeal Board's failure to hear relevant evidence.
Leave to appeal to a regional tribunal was granted.
