The Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB, French: Commission scolaire Lester-B.-Pearson, CSLBP) is one of the largest school boards on the island of Montreal and one of the nine English school boards in the province of Quebec. It is headquartered in Dorval, Quebec.
Established in 1998, the LBPSB is responsible for English public schools from Verdun, through the West Island and Ile Perrot and "mainland" territories stretching west to the Ontario border. It is named after Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th Prime Minister. The LBPSB consists of schools formerly operated by the Lakeside School Board (Protestant) and the Baldwin-Cartier Schools Commission (Catholic).
As of 2017 Michael Chechile is the Director General of the school board and the Chairman of the Board is Noel Burke.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board is the only school board in Canada to have an official consultative group of students to its Council. The group, entitled the 'Central Students' Committee' (CSC for short) produces formal responses to the consultations proposed by the Council of Commissioners.
