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 du Centre-Sud-Ouest, which is now the Conseil scolaire Viamonde.
