Overview
What are the legal obligations of school boards under the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Education Act when considering police involvement in student misconduct and misbehaviour? Do police/school board protocols allow room for the exercise of discretion in making calls to the police? Can school boards mitigate the impact of calls to the police on Indigenous, Black and racialized students and students with disabilities?
This interactive webinar addresses these questions from a human rights and equity-informed perspective.
Format
In this session we will address the following topics:
- the role of discretion in determining police involvement in student misconduct/misbehaviour
- the application of the Ontario Human Rights Code to local police/school board protocols
- equity considerations: Indigenous students, racialized students and students with disabilities.
