Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Review of Relationships and Sexuality Education: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Dr. Martin Gormley:
We must be respectful of co-trustees and the characteristic spirit of the school because it is enshrined within the Education Act. We referred to section 9(d) earlier. The reference in the overarching piece of educational legislation is to the characteristic spirit, as promoted by the board of management, which may incorporate a co-trustee or have one central to that. We cannot ignore it.
