      • The North York Board of Education (NYBE, commonly known as School District 13), officially the Board of Education for the City of North York is the former public school board for the former city of North York in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

      In 1998, the provincial Government of Ontario passed legislation which amalgamated North York into the City of Toronto. As part of the amalgamation process, the NYBE ceased to exist. Today, administration of schools in North York is handled by the Toronto District School Board. The NYBE building was located at 5050 Yonge Street, in the same complex as Mel Lastman Square, the former North York City Hall. This building now houses the Toronto District School Board offices.

      North York operated various elementary, junior high, and secondary schools along with its alternative programs. Active schools are now operated by TDSB , but all existing properties unless disposed are owned by Toronto Lands Corporation.

      Previously the district operated two French-language schools in addition to English-language schools. As of May 1980 the district operated two of the seven public French-language schools in Metropolitan Toronto, with the other five being operated by the Metropolitan Separate School Board (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board). The North York school board required that a potential student must know French before being admitted to a French-speaking school. The Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto (CEFCUT) assumed control of French-language education in the Toronto area on 1 December 1988.
      In 1977 the school board voted to build a school out of surplus portable buildings on the site of the Ecole Etienne Brule, spending $120,000 to construct the school. The residents in the area where it was being constructed were against the proposal because 172 children from the area were bussed 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) away to another school, and the new school in their community would not serve them. At nighttime, when workers tried to move the portables onto the site, some residents tried to obstruct their efforts.
