Education and Training Act, ss 34,127; Human Rights Act 1993
If you have a disability, you have legal rights to:
Be free from discrimination – the principal and the school board can’t treat you unfairly because you have a disability. It could be discrimination if you are suspended for behaviour that is related to your disability.
Access education – you have the same right to education as others. The school board has an obligation to do everything it reasonably can to meet your needs so that you can stay at school. See the chapter “Learning support”
The principal (and later the school board) needs to consider your rights, and their obligation to maintain a safe environment for you and other students. A stand-down or suspension should be the last resort.
