Ontario School Boards’ Special Education Plans

In Ontario, the Ministry of Education outlines special education procedures. School boards develop and update their Special Education Plan annually, outlining how each board implements the Ministry procedures. In each school board's Special Education Plan, you will find information on IPRC criteria, possible special class placements and supports. From time to time school boards change the location of their plans on their websites. If any of the links below don't work go to the school board main site and look under "programs". See below for a link to the boards' home pages. For a list of French language school boards, click here. Board Directory: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/sbinfo/
