Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys

The Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board (Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys) was a French-language public school board on Montreal Island, Quebec, Canada.

[1] It was named after Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620–1700), a French nun who helped start education infrastructure in the new colony.

In 2005–2006 the teachers went on strike to increase funds for the schools and smaller class sizes (average of 30 students per class) because it was becoming difficult to teach the students.

[2][3] In 2014 the government of Quebec planned to move 66 schools from the Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM) to the CSMB.

[4] On June 15, 2020, the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys replaced the former Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, which was created on July 1, 1998, as a result of a law passed by the Quebec government that changed the school board system from denominational to linguistic.
