Ministry of Education and Training establishes
Centre Jules-Léger as a Demonstration School
for the French speaking students with severe learning
disabilities requiring a residential program. While
the Ministry provides the funds to operate the school,the
University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Education, has
the mandate to implement Centre Jules-Léger and
operate its programs and services. |

The Ministry further expands Centre Jules-Léger’s
mandate to include students with severe language problems
(aphasia). While these students are still admissible
to the Demonstration School Program, they are not segregated
into a distinct program. |
| 1986 |
The Ministry provides further funding to establish
school
and residence programs for deaf or hard of hearing students
and their parents. The new services would include
those provided
to the pre-school population of deaf and hard of hearing
children and their parents. While
the program
is not currently recognized by Regulation 296, practice
and collateral documents, including a
collective
agreement, would establish the program to be, de facto,
a Provincial School in good standing.
A revised
Regulation 296 should include formal recognition of
that fact. |
