The Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île (CSPÎ) was a francophone school board in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, based primarily in the city's east end. It served Montréal-Nord, Saint-Léonard, Anjou, and Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles.[1] It also served Montréal-Est, a municipality outside of the Montreal city limits.[2] Its headquarters is in the Pointe-aux-Trembles area of Montreal.[3]
Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île (Pointe-de-l'Île school commission or school board), was created by the government of Quebec on July 1, 1998, as part of a general restructuring from school boards representing religious communities to those representing linguistic communities. The CSPI replaced the former Commission scolaire Jérôme-Le Royer while also incorporating some francophone schools from other commissions. There were 27,500 students enrolled in schools associated with the board at the time of its founding; by 2011, the number had grown to 35,000.[4] The eastern portion of the former Montreal Catholic School Commission became a part of the CSPÎ.[5]
The commission was overseen by a group of elected school commissioners. Vincenzo Arciresi was the first chair of the commission and served in this capacity until his defeat by Miville Boudreault in the 2014 council election, the first in which the chair was directly elected.[6]
It was replaced by the Centre de services scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île.
