District School Board of Niagara


The District School Board of Niagara is a school board in the public school system of Ontario, Canada, in the Regional Municipality of Niagara. Its head office is in St. Catharines. The DSBN operates schools in each of the twelve municipalities in the region. It employs close to 2,500 instructional staff to teach over 43,000 students in 97 elementary schools and 18 secondary schools. DSBN has recently implemented a new online campus, allowing students to take high school level courses online at their own pace. This service is run by Desire2Learn and features such things as online testing, discussion boards, email, and DSBN instant messaging.
The board was created on January 1, 1998 as a result of the amalgamation of the Lincoln County Board of Education serving the boundaries of the former Lincoln County, and the Niagara South Board of Education which served the boundaries of the former Welland County.
