Amharc ar fhreagraThe Education Act, 1998 sets out the key roles and functions that are discharged by Patrons and Boards of Management in the running of schools. The Board of Management is the body of persons appointed by the Patron to manage the school on behalf of the patron and the functions of the Board are set out in Section 15 of the Act.
Depending on the type of school it is either the Board of Management or the appropriate Education and Training board that is the employer of school staff. Therefore, any queries in relation to staff should be taken up with the Board of Management or the relevant Education and Training Board of the school in question.
