Limestone District School Board is a public district school board encompassing the City of Kingston and the counties of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington in Eastern Ontario. The board was founded in a 1998 provincial reorganization of Ontario school boards, and was an amalgamation of the former Frontenac County and Lennox and Addington County Boards of Education. The board's chair for 2006-2007 is Ann Goodfellow. LDSB serves almost 23,000 students at 66 schools with 2,200 employees in the townships of Central Frontenac, Addington Highlands, North Frontenac, South Frontenac, Loyalist and Stone Mills, as well as the town of Greater Napanee and the city of Kingston.

LDSB includes 55 elementary schools, 11 secondary schools and the Limestone School of Community Education. The community served by each school is indicated in the list below after each schools name.

Limestone's Board of Trustees are elected officials responsible for the operation of public schools in the district. Trustees are the critical link between community and school boards. They ensure public schools meet the diverse needs of students in their community. They are elected by the public school taxpayers every four years, during municipal elections and are directly accountable to the community. The current nine-member Board will serve until November 30, 2010. The Board also has two Student Trustees representing urban and rural secondary schools. They serve a one-year term and are elected by the Limestone District Inter-School Student Council each spring.
