Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto
The Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto, commonly known as CÉFCUT (English: Metropolitan Toronto French School Board), is a former public francophone secular school district. It was created in the 1980s to manage Francophone schools in the GTA.
Prior to the establishment of CÉFCUT, several English-language school boards in the Toronto area operated Francophone schools with a total of almost 1,700 students; they were the North York Board of Education, Scarborough Board of Education, and Toronto Board of Education.[1] Seven Francophone schools existed in the Toronto area in 1980.[2] The concept of CÉFCUT was developed by a committee assembled by Ontario Minister of Education Sean Conway. CÉFCUT was established on 1 December 1988,[1] and it began operations in 1989.[3]
By the end of 1997, CEFCUT no longer exists, and the Francophone schools of southern Ontario are now managed by the Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud, which is now the Conseil scolaire Viamonde.

"Le Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto (CEFCUT), le 1er décembre 1988, s'établit dans un climat beaucoup moins acrimonieux qu'à Ottawa-Carleton. Jusqu'en 1987, les conseils scolaires de Toronto, North York et Scarborough ainsi que leurs CCLF gèrent les classes et les écoles de langue française qui accueillent près de 1700 élèves. En janvier 1987, le ministre de l'Éducation Sean Conway crée un comité de travail de portée générale afin de planifier la mise en train du CEFCUT. En février 1988, le comité présente son rapport final unanime au nouveau conseil scolaire."
