Appeal of special education placement dismissed; proposed full-time placement found appropriate for student's needs.
The parents of a student with specific learning disabilities appealed the school board's proposed placement of the student in a full-time special education program at Northview Secondary School.
The parents sought a fully segregated small-group placement, arguing the proposed placement did not meet the student's needs.
The Ontario Special Education Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the proposed placement, which included a small pupil-teacher ratio and opportunities for appropriate integration, was appropriate and in the student's best interest.
