Norfolk Board of Education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Norfolk Board of Education is the former name of the Norfolk County division of the Grand Erie District School Board in Ontario, Canada. The old school board building is located in the hamlet of Hillcrest, Ontario, Canada on 173 Hillcrest Road South. Government cutbacks eventually forced the school board to amalagate with the Haldimand Board of Education and the Brant District Board of Education in 1996.

[edit] Identification Placement And Review Committee

IPRC (Identification Placement And Review Committee) meetings for the parents of students are held in the former NBE building during the school year. While it started with many administrators moderating the review process, by 1996, the IPRC sessions were administrated by only three people due to the Mike Harris cutbacks. No efforts have been made by Dalton McGuinty to restore the level of funding made possible by the Bob Rae government.

The IPRCs are important as this decides whether an eighth grade student goes to high school or not based on his maturity and grades in different subjects. Often, kids with excellent grades get denied the promotion to high school because they imitate professional wrestling moves or act out childish in certain ways. But occasionally, children who frequently lose their temper or cannot cross the street by themselves get promoted primarily on their good work in their junior high-level courses. Goals for students to achieve are often set at IPRC meetings, although some may be too unrealistic for the child within a short term. Children without friends are expected to "develop social relationships with their peers" at their school and troublemakers are expected to "improve social relationships with their peers."

However, IPRC meetings for an individual student are no longer held when either the child reaches 21 years of age, graduates from high school, or drops out of high school, whichever comes first.
