ES-5552 Supervised Alternative Learning (SAL) Policy

Trillium Lakelands District School Board is committed to providing meaningful learning opportunities for all students in our board. TLDSB recognizes that some students require alternative learning opportunities in order to increase achievement and thereby increase the likelihood of reengagement in an in-school program.

As some students may have difficulty attending or succeeding in a regular school program, alternative programs are offered for students over the age of 14 but under the age of 18 under the Education Act Regulation 374/10: Supervised Alternative Learning and Other Excusals from Attendance at School (SAL). Trillium Lakelands District School Board SAL programs assist eligible students in achieving their educational goals in an alternative educational program until they are able to reintegrate and reengage into regular school programming.
