Submit an appeal to the Education Appeal Tribunal

Students or parents can submit an appeal to the Education Appeal Tribunal when they're unhappy with decisions made by the:

What to expect

• Hearings follow formal procedures and rules of order.
• Hearings may be held in any Yukon community.
• The chair of the tribunal can appoint a mediator to settle the matter without a formal hearing.
