The Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB, French: Commission scolaire Lester-B.-Pearson) is the largest school board on the island of Montreal, one of the nine English school boards in the province of Quebec.
The LBPSB is responsible for English public schools in the West Island, Ile Perrot and "mainland" territories stretching west to the border of Ontario province. It is named after Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th Prime Minister.
Bob Mills is currently the Director General of the school board and the Chairman of the Council of Commissioners is Suanne Stein Day.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board is the only school board in Canada to have an official consultative group of students to its executives. The group, entitled the 'Central Students' Committee' (CSC for short) produces formal responses to the consultations proposed by the Council of Commissioners.

I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
