The appellant appealed the expulsion of his son from all schools of the respondent school board.
The pupil had been expelled after allegedly threatening to kill another student.
The Board found that the school board's policy regarding the alleged misconduct was permissive rather than mandatory regarding suspensions.
Under the Education Act, a pupil can only be expelled for an activity if the school board's policy mandates a suspension for that activity.
Consequently, the Board quashed the expulsion and ordered the pupil's record expunged.
