MO-1708

This is an appeal from a decision of the Durham District School Board (the Board), made under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). In November of 2002, the requester (now the appellant) made a request under the Act to the Board for information on first term student grades by class, by curriculum (Grade 12 New Curriculum v. Ontario Academic Credit, or “OAC”) and by three named secondary schools, in English, Science and Math courses. The appellant is the parent of a student attending a secondary school in the Board at the time of the request. He was interested in comparing the marks of students in the two groups encompassed by the “double cohort” competing for entrance to university. The appellant also sought information about the number of students who dropped each course, also by class, by course and by school.
