Canadian school district serving part of the island of Montreal
The Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSMMontreal school board) was a board from 1998 until 2020, as a result of a law passed by the Quebec government that changed the school board system from religious denomination to linguistic denomination.
Its main predecessor is the Montreal Catholic School Commission (Commission des écoles catholiques de Montréal or CÉCM) which was composed of both French and EnglishRoman Catholic schools and had been in operation for over 150 years.[1]
School board elections took place on Sunday, November 2, 2014. The position of chairman has been chosen by universal suffrage. This is for a four-year term.[3] The last school board elections took place in 2007.
The Mouvement pour une école moderne et ouverte keep all positions; president (Catherine Harel-Bourdon) and the 13 new chairs.

"Pas le choix, donc: on a promis de brasser toutes les commissions scolaires, brassons-les toutes, même à Montréal. Arrachons à la CSDM une bonne partie de ses élèves, puis transférons-les à la commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (et un peu à la Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île). Comme ça, on «change» les choses... puis on en profite pour pénaliser la CSDM qui dérange, et récompenser la CSMB qui se fait docile. Qui accepte les compressions. Qui permet à ses dirigeants d'accompagner Philippe Couillard lorsqu'il se rend en mission économique en Chine."
