CSFN’s board adopted Resolution 954 on May 20, 2026. The resolution calls for autonomy in governance, human resources and financial management, and directs the board chair and executive director to negotiate the transfer terms and timetable with the Government of Nunavut. It says the board and CSFN management must report negotiation progress at each regular board meeting. Source↗

A completed transfer could change who administers French-language education functions in Nunavut, including governance, staffing and financial management. But no transfer has been approved or completed: the resolution says a detailed, costed transition plan is needed before responsibilities move, and that no transfer can be finalized until the Government of Nunavut confirms corresponding funding.

CSFN says a public assembly will be held before any final agreement is signed, so the francophone community can be informed of the terms and provide support. The board’s next listed public meeting is September 23, 2026; no agenda or update on the negotiations is posted. Source↗

The resolution records that CSFN submitted a draft transition framework and schedule to the Education Department on January 25, 2026, and that CSFN leadership met the deputy minister and departmental staff on May 19 to plan next steps. Those statements are CSFN’s account in its resolution, not a published Government of Nunavut agreement. The board’s 2025–2030 strategic plan separately identifies autonomy, improved governance, stronger parent and partner links, Inuktitut as a second language at the school, and a presence across Nunavut as organizational objectives.
