How to raise a concern with an Ontario school board

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result. For legal advice, you should contact an appropriate Lawyer or Paralegal specializing in the area of law you need assistance with.

  1. Start with the teacher or principal, then the board process

    Most boards require that order.

  2. Put dates and the outcome you want in writing

    Keep copies. Appeal windows for suspensions are short.

  3. The Education Act is the backbone

    It is on the Education Law shelf.
