Public Schools Cannot Just "Kick Kids Out" – They Must Have A Full Expulsion Hearing

It may seem obvious, but School Principals cannot expel students without actually expelling them. In Ontario, allowing children access to a publicly funded education is a fundamental value. Children should not be deprived of that education, except in extreme circumstances. To deprive a child of the ability to attend school, the princip-lawyers/john-p-schuman/al and the Board must follow the rules and procedures for expelling students. Unfortunately, often School Principal's take short cuts, which are illegal, to kick kids out of school.

Expelling students is hard. There are lots of rules to follow and students have rights in the process. Unfortunately, principals often try to kick students out of school without actually expelling them. The law says that is not allowed.
