What is one possible outcome of appealing an expulsion?

Appealing an expulsion leads to a review of the expulsion decision. This process allows for a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the expulsion, including the evidence that led to the decision and whether the proper procedures were followed. The review aims to ensure that the student’s rights were upheld and that the expulsion was justified based on the facts presented.

During this review, the appeal body may consider any new evidence or arguments made by the student or their representatives. The outcome could potentially lead to a change in the original decision: the review may confirm the expulsion, recommend a different action, or even lead to reinstatement. This process is important as it provides an opportunity to reassess disciplinary actions and ensure fairness based on Ontario's education laws and policies.
