With the exception of the Protestant comprehensive schools, agreement has been reached on the legal instruments underpinning the revised arrangements for boards of management of comprehensive schools, and the schools concerned were advised to proceed with the arrangements for the election of the parent and teacher representatives and the formation of the new boards. My Department communicated this to the schools concerned, including the school to which the Deputy refers, at the end of the last school year and has requested an update from each of the schools concerned on how their individual arrangements have progressed. I will formally appoint each board in accordance with the legal instruments when I am notified by the schools of the proposed board membership.
