Human rights application alleging failure to accommodate student's learning disabilities and discriminatory suspensions dismissed.
The applicant, a high school student with learning disabilities, alleged that the school board failed to accommodate his special needs and discriminated against him by imposing two suspensions without properly accounting for his disabilities.
The Tribunal found that the school board had implemented appropriate accommodations, including an Individual Education Plan, and had properly considered the applicant's special needs during the investigation and discipline process for both suspensions.
The application was dismissed.
