Education and Training Act 2020, s 80
It could be illegal discrimination if you’re suspended or stood-down for behaviour that is a symptom of your health or behavioural needs. For example, if you have Tourette’s, you shouldn’t be suspended for movements in class that you can’t control.
The school board must be able to show it has taken all reasonable steps to address your behaviour before standing-down or suspending you. Like by having an appropriate behavioural plan in place.
