Cree School Board (CSB; French: Commission scolaire Crie; Cree: ᐄᔨᔨᐤ ᒋᔅᑯᑎᒫᒑᐧᐃᓐ) is a school district in northern Quebec, headquartered in Mistissini,[1] with an additional office in the James Bay Eeyou School in Chisasibi.[2]

While most Quebec school boards are categorized by language, CSB is categorized as a "special-status school board".[3] It offers education in Cree, French, and English.

History

In 1978 the CSB had been established.[4]

Initially the headquarters was in Val-d'Or but they later moved to Mistissini.[5]
