Nova Scotia Education Reform Act 2018

The Nova Scotia Education Reform Act 2018 (Bill 72) was an act of educational administrative reform passed by the Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia in March 2018.[1] The act dissolved Nova Scotia's seven English language School Boards and replaced them with Regional Centres for Education.[2] This shifted responsibility for educational services in Nova Scotia from locally elected boards to a council of administrators appointed directly by the Minister of Education.[3]
