Submit an appeal to the Education Appeal Tribunal

Students or parents can submit an appeal to the Education Appeal Tribunal when they're unhappy with decisions made by the:

  • Department of Education;
  • school; or
  • school council.

The tribunal considers the following matters:

  • identification of a student’s special needs;
  • implementation of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP);
  • student suspensions; and
  • locally developed courses of study.

The tribunal is an independent, quasi-judicial body established under Section 157 of the Education Act. The tribunal's decisions are final and legally binding.

What to expect

  • Hearings follow formal procedures and rules of order.
  • Hearings may be held in any Yukon community.
  • The chair of the tribunal can appoint a mediator to settle the matter without a formal hearing.
