More English school boards join legal challenge to Quebec budget cuts

News

Eight school boards have now joined a legal challenge to cuts in Quebec’s education sector imposed by the province earlier this year.

By Jason Magder

The boards are challenging the validity of an estimated $570 million in cuts announced by the province in June, as well as a $540-million budgetary envelope added in recent weeks, because that envelope dictates to boards how they can spend their money.

The Quebec English School Boards Association filed two legal challenges in court on Friday: one to challenge the province’s actions and the other to force a pause on the cuts while their validity is decided in court.

QESBA confirmed that eight boards have now signed on to join the legal challenges.
