Cree School Board (CSB; ; ) is a school district in northern Quebec, headquartered in Mistissini, with an additional office in the James Bay Eeyou School in Chisasibi.
While most Quebec school boards are categorized by language, CSB is categorized as a "special-status school board". It offers education in Cree, French, and English.
History
In 1978 the CSB had been established.
Initially the headquarters was in Val-d'Or but they later moved to Mistissini. The school board also established a high school in Chisasibi, with boarding services for students from some distant communities.
