Special education appeal dismissed for lack of jurisdiction over specific programs and services.
The appellant appealed a school board decision confirming a Special Education Appeal Board (SEAB) placement of 'Regular Class with Resource Assistance' for a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The appellant sought specific programs and services, including 1:1 support.
The Ontario Special Education Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding it lacked jurisdiction because the school board had already agreed to the requested placement, and the Tribunal's mandate under the Education Act does not extend to ordering specific programs or services.
The Tribunal also declined the respondent's request to declare the appellant a vexatious litigant.
