Right to review

We helped a parent who was refused an identification, placement and review committee (IPRC) to assess her daughter’s giftedness in kindergarten. She was told that the school board did not do IPRCs before Grade 3. We pointed out to the board that, under the Education Act, it did not have the authority to deny a parent’s request for an IPRC. The board acknowledged the error and took steps to clarify the relevant parts of the legislation with its administrators.
