I presume that what the Deputy has in mind is that a principal teacher or vice-principal who acts as secretary to a board of management has no voting rights. This is in line with the procedure adopted for community schools. The Deputy is, no doubt, aware that a teacher who is a member of a vocational education committee may, by virtue of such membership, be elected to serve on a board of management with full voting rights but may not serve on the board of management of the school in which he is employed.
