An appeal is an action by parents who disagree with a decision made at the school level regarding their child's education. A principal's decision that significantly affects the education of a student may be appealed in writing by parents to the superintendent of schools. Leadership Services offers support to principals and parents during this process. Parents who disagree with the superintendent's decision may appeal, in writing, to the Board of Trustees. The Board favours timely resolution of disagreements among those involved. Appeals shall be heard by the Board or by Conference Committee of the Board, depending upon the nature of the appeal.

Parents shall be advised that they may request that the Minister of Education review any decision of the Board of Trustees.

Additional information about the appeal process is available by viewing policy AB.AR Appeal Processes or by contacting Leadership Services at 429-8030.
