About Governing Boards
On July 1, 1998, linguistic school boards were formed as part of a wide reform of
the educational system in Quebec. As stated in A New Direction for Success:
“The purpose of this reform is to give schools more responsibility so that they can
better adapt their teaching and organization to the needs and characteristics of
their students.”
Governing boards are another component of the educational reform. They bring
together parents, school staff, senior high school students and community
members who work in partnership towards a primary goal of making decisions
that benefit our students.
More information on Governing Boards can be found by consulting the Governing Board Manual you can download the manual in PDF format from the EMSB website by clicking on the link below:
Governing Board Members
The term of office for parent representatives is two years, with half of the parent seats up for election each year. The term for non-parent
representatives is one year.
Parent representatives are elected at the general assembly of parents held annually in September. One parent representative is then also elected to the regional parents’ committee at the school board.
