The fetter intended Io indicate that, should a ctudert meet the criteria for identfication of @ specific. exceptionally. then that is the exceptionality that should be used for the identification of the student. AAs you know, subsection 1(1) of the Education Act sets out five broad categories of ‘xceptionalties in the defintion of ‘exceptional pup: behavicur, communication, intellectual, physical and mutiple, These broad cetegones are designed to address the wie range of conditions that may atfest a pupils abilty to learn. Like many other condiiions, ADHO may present in many ways inthe school seting, an igenttying all stulents with ADHD as exceptional, of placing them in any one definition or category, would net bein the bee inirests of each individual student. For example, papi diagnosed with ADHD may be idenified by an IPRC ae exceptional witin the definitions for behaviour exceptionalites. learing disabilities or physical disabities. The categories of exceptionaliies are designed to capture a range of condiiors, impairments and barriers that lead to paricular types of learning dffcutties as characterized by effect, not diagnosis. The existence of a diagnosis of ADHD isnot, in tse, determinative ofthe category of exceptional that may approoriately identify an exceptional studentMayor Gerry Furney 3 ‘Town Office: (250) 9563111 ‘Town of Port MeNeill s Fax: (250) 9564300 P.O.

In fact ther actions appear to be the antithesis of charity. believe that a review should be undertaken ofall these organizations that claim to be “charitable” to ensure that they meet te stringent “charitable” requirements of our Goverment, If they do not meet the charitable standard that we expect, then ther tax-free status should be rescinded. Is this possible? You Gerry Fumey Co-Chair, Council of Resource Communities Mayor Ce: Honourable Joha Duncan Honourable Lloyd Snelgrove Honourable Colin Hansen
