The Kativik School Board (KSB; French: Commission scolaire Kativik, Inuktitut: ᑲᑎᕕᒃ ᐃᓕᓴᕐᓂᓕᕆᓂᖅKativik Ilisarniliriniq) is a school district with territory in Nunavik in northern Quebec; it has an office in the Saint-Laurent area of Montreal and one in Kuujjuaq.[1]
While most Quebec school boards are categorized by language, this district is categorized as a "special-status school board".[2]
The provincial education ministry requested that KSB adopt certain reforms in its mathematics and science programs by 2012; when this did not happen, in 2014 the ministry stopped KSB's ability to issue regular high school diplomas effective June 2015; instead "attestation of equivalence of secondary studies" became available. KSB did not inform the students and community of the change until 2017.[6] President of the KSB board Alicie Nalukturuk accused the ministry of ignoring requests for help on issues in the community.[7]
The board formerly operated the Ulluriaq School, previously the Satuumavik School, in Kangiqsualujjuaq.[8]
The district formerly operated the Kativik Senior Education Centre in Dorval, Quebec. In the district's early history, senior high school students had to attend classes there to get a high school diploma. During its history, most students dropped out of the program rather than completing it; the centre was a long distance from Nunavik.[4]
