On July 1, 1998, the EMSB was founded as part of the secular school reform in Québec. With this reform, the previously denominationally separate school authorities were dissolved and replaced by new ones, which are defined according to linguistic and geographical criteria.
The LBPSB oversees 39 primary schools, twelve secondary schools, four vocational schools and two adult education institutions. 4,000 employees look after around 28,000 students. 21 school councils, elected by the residents of the supervised area, oversee the school board, with three councils having executive functions.
The catchment area includes:
- 5 districts of the city of Montreal : Lachine , LaSalle , L'Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève , Pierrefonds-Roxboro , Verdun
- 9 independent municipalities in the administrative region of Montreal: Baie-D'Urfé , Beaconsfield , Dollard-Des Ormeaux , Dorval , Kirkland , L'Île-Dorval , Pointe-Claire , Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue , Senneville
