What is a governing board?

The Governing Board is a structure composed of people (parents, staff, students, etc.) who wish to be involved at the educational level. In the context of the Quebec education reform, a governing board is established in each school.

Its functions and powers are designed to bring schools and centers together with the expertise of people who are actively involved in education. The decision-making process of a Governing Board must always take into account the best interests of the students.

The school’s Educational Project (EP) defines our orientations and objectives for improving the educational success of our students. It represents the values of our school through which we accomplish our mission to educate, socialize and qualify. It is a strategic tool for communicating action priorities and expected results to the educational community.

It is developed in response to the characteristics and needs of the students attending the school, as well as the expectations of the educational environment.

The EP calls on the collaboration of all those involved in the school: students, parents, the community and the school service centre staff. It is part of an approach designed to promote coherence and synergy between all levels of the educational system, while respecting the autonomy and specific characteristics of each level.
