Leave to appeal special education placement granted; Tribunal retained jurisdiction despite student's move to private school.
The applicants sought leave to appeal to a regional tribunal regarding the special education placement of their child.
The respondent school board challenged the Tribunal's jurisdiction, arguing the student was no longer enrolled in a board school, having moved to a private school.
The Tribunal found it had jurisdiction because the student was enrolled in a board school at the time the application was made and the parents had exhausted all rights of appeal under the regulations.
The Tribunal granted leave to appeal, finding a significant controversy concerning the appropriateness of the proposed placement that warranted further adjudication.
