The Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario, also widely known as CEPEO, is the public school board responsible for education in the French language in Eastern Ontario, including the Ottawa area.
The area in which the board operates covers 40,314 km2 of Ontario.
It employs more than 3000 employees, the majority being teachers.
The board was created January 1, 1998, when the Government of Ontario decided to create 12 French school boards across Ontario.
The CEPEO is a member of the Association des conseils des écoles publique de l'Ontario (ACÉPO).
