FORMAL APPEAL

Most concerns do not lead to a formal appeal. However, the Vancouver School Board recognizes and respects the fact that parents/guardians and students may strongly disagree with decisions made by school employees that significantly affect the health, education or safety of a student at school. In this rare case, a formal appeal may be launched in accordance with the Appeal Policy and Procedures Bylaw. Appeals must be started within fifteen (15) days of the completion of the Conflict Resolution Process, unless good reasons are shown why the time should be extended. Please review the Parent and Student Appeal Guide prior to launching a formal appeal. If a matter has not been addressed through the conflict resolution process, the matter will be referred back to the appropriate school or district staff.
