Deaf child's parents to launch human rights hearing against N.L. school district

Carter Churchill, 8, of Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, N.L., is set to start Grade 3 in September without a teacher in place who is fluent in American Sign Language.

In the years since, Churchill said, resources have dwindled. Former teachers from the school who continued teaching deaf children at other schools are reaching retirement, he said, including a teacher who worked with Carter for the last few years. "It's extremely frustrating and stressful," the father said. "For something as vitally important as your child's education, it's a burden that you constantly carry."

The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, a respondent in the complaint along with the province's Education Department, said it respects the process and will continue to engage with the commission.
