Policies & By-Laws

EN FR

Être bilingue, c'est gagnant!

By-laws are rules and laws established by the EMSB as an organization that acts in accordance with and are limited by the Education Act. They facilitate governance at the Board Level.

While By-laws are limited in scope by government regulation, policies are the basic principles by which our organization is guided. Policies are created and managed by the Council of Commissioners.
