I96-033M

This investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint concerning a separate school board (the Board). The complainant is the father of a 13-year-old boy who was arrested and charged by the police after a fight between himself and another boy at a shopping centre. Both boys attended one of the Board's schools.

After the father read a police report related to his son's arrest, he concluded that information from his son's Ontario Student Record (OSR) had been disclosed by the Board to the police.

The father believed that such a disclosure by the Board would have been improper, because the OSR is a privileged record under the Education Act. The father's view was that the actions of the Board breached the provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act).
