High school dare costs B.C. parents more than $48,000

In a decision that reinforces the limits of reasonable accommodation, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has ruled that a no-email policy adopted by a Toronto District School Board elementary school for the purposes of parent-teacher communication is appropriate, especially where other effective means of communication exist, says Windsor education lawyer Bryce Chandler.


In Klassen v. Toronto District School Board, 2014 HRTO 191 (CanLII), the tribunal determined an elementary school’s policy against emails between parents and teachers did not discriminate against a father who preferred online communication over other methods due to having a stutter.
