For Eastern School District in Prince Edward Island, see Eastern School District.

The Eastern School District of Newfoundland and Labrador (ESDNL) was the de facto school board for the eastern portion of the island of Newfoundland, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Its headquarters was in St. John's and there were regional offices in Spaniard's Bay, Burin and Clarenville. The district served approximately 40,000 students with 4,200 staff and teachers.[1] It was amalgamated in 2013 into the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District.[2]

The last CEO/Director of Education was Dr. Bruce Vey,[3] who was appointed in October 2012.[4] Previous directors include Ford Rice, Darrin Pike, who was appointed Deputy Minister of the Department of Education in 2009, and Dr. Darin King, who joined the district in 2004 and departed to enter provincial politics where he served as Minister of Education.
