Board of Management

Primary schools have been governed by boards of management since 1975. The Education Act 1998 puts the system on a statutory basis and sets out the responsibilities of the boards. The composition of the board of management reflects an agreement between school patrons, national associations of parents, school management organisations, teacher representatives and the Minister for Education and Skills.

The board is appointed by the patron, in the case this is the Archbishop of Dublin. In making appointments, the patron must comply with Ministerial directions about gender balance.

Functions of the board

The Board of Management has a statutory obligation to ensure, through the principal and teaching staff that: 
General education provision within the school is of a high quality.
The needs of students are identified and responded to by the school.
Appropriately qualified and competent teaching and non-teaching staff are appointed, subject to approval of the Patron and the Minister. 
School plans are developed, implemented and regularly evaluated. 
Management and staff development needs are identified and provided within available resources. 
Parents receive full information on their child’s progress. 
The school provides religious education for the children of the Catholic Faith. 
The school complies with all rules and regulations prescribed by the Department of Education and Skills.  

The format of the Board of Management is as follows:-

  1. Two Patron’s Nominees
  2. Two Elected Parents – one father and one mother.
  3. Principal Teacher and one Teacher elected by teaching staff.
  4. Further Board Members from the wider community.
