History.
On April 14, 1967, the National Assembly of the Province of Québec sanctioned Bill 41, instituting the "Commission scolaire de la Côte-Nord du Golfe St-Laurent". This school board, directed by an administrator, would become responsible for education in fifteen communities. These communities spread out from Kegaska to Blanc Sablon, a territory of 460 kilometres (285 miles) that is not connected to the Québec Provincial road network. Bill 41, created the first "unified" school board in the Province of Québec, serving a French, English, and Native population of Catholic and Protestant religion and giving courses from Kindergarten to Secondary inclusively.
On June 18, 1975, the name of the Commission scolaire de la Côte-Nord du Golfe St-Laurent was changed to the Littoral School Board ("Commission scolaire du Littoral" in French). Prior to the creation of the district, multiple school districts from various religious orders controlled the area, and none of them offered senior high school education.
The territory of Anticosti Island was added to the Littoral School Board with Bill 48 which was passed on June 18, 1976.
Following inter-governmental agreements, the Natives acquired their school autonomy on the St. Augustine River Reservation on July 1, 1990, and on the La Romaine Reserve on July 1, 1991. However, the school board maintained services in these two communities to serve the non-Indian population.
The School Board holds a special status considering it is managed by an administrator (who is named by the Lieutenant Governor in Council) who replaces the school commissioners and the director-general. He exercises his powers by means of ordinances, of which a copy is automatically transmitted to the Minister who decides to accept it or to reject it in whole or in part.
Moreover, the Littoral School Board is characterized by the fact that it is not classified as a linguistic school board.

Orange represents the soil and its residents. Turquoise (blue-green) represents the sea that is omnipresent on the territory. The vertical features imitate the territory and its size. The triangle represents Anticosti Island and the motion of the waves, referring to the district's motto: "We extend the horizons of knowledge, against all winds and tides..." The whole forms an "L" for Littoral.
