The West Island parents of a 14-year-old adopted boy, who suffers effects of radiation acquired from his Chernobyl birth parents, have been forced to take extreme action to have the boy integrated at a Lester B Pearson School Board high school.
According to a story in the Aug. 19 Montreal Gazette, the case in Quebec Superior Court had been postponed until later in August. At present, news of any decision is not readily available.
The School Board Chairman Marcus Tabachnick said that LBPSB integrates 98% of its special needs kids, more than any other district in Quebec. However, in this case the board was offering to provide either partial home schooling or a full time technician to sit with the boy in school hallways.
The student's condition affects his speech and behaviour. He attended regular classes until 2007, when he was suspended from classes due to incidents at school, the details of which are disputed by the parents.
