On behalf of the Council of Commissioners of the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), I thought it was important to update the community on the financial situation of the Board after our second quarter budget review.

When COVID-19 forced educators around the world to re-think how they teach and interact with their students, the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) realized that the impact of the ongoing pandemic will not only affect those currently enrolled in the system, but prospective students and parents as well.

Given the many high-profile acts of racial violence in 2020, Black History Month activities scheduled at the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) for February will take on even more significance. At a Council of Commissioners meeting in December 2020, the EMSB adopted a formal resolution to formally recognize Black History Month.
