The English Montreal School Board joins the province's eight other English-language school boards and passes a resolution to join the legal fight against Bill 40.

QESBA said it filed for an interlocutory injunction and judicial review in Quebec Superior Court on May 15.

On Friday, the Quebec English School Boards Association said its member boards don't yet feel safe enough to reopen their establishments.

The government said it's up to public health, not school boards, to make the call as to what's safe or not in the plan to reopen schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Quebec English School Boards association says Quebec needs clear guidelines before schools start again.

English school officials say they still have a lot of concerns about upcoming school board reform.

Reports have resurfaced of the province's anti-corruption unit investigating cases in which foreign students who don't speak French were accepted through a fast-track immigration program. 

The groups want the CAQ government to delay the adoption of Bill 40 until more consultations are held about the future of schools and public education. 

Quebec Education Minister Jean-François Roberge said he has enough concerns that the ministry will transfer the investigation to the province's corruption watchdog, known as UPAC.

The hearings are expected to continue until mid-November.
