The appointment of a Board of Management of a primary school is a matter for the relevant school patron in accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, 1998.
The procedures for the election, nomination and appointment of members of Boards of management of primary schools and the rules under which these Boards operate are set out in my Department’s publication the “Governance Manual for Primary Schools 2015-2019”.
In relation to the names of the individual members appointed, many schools use their website to make this publically available. Alternatively the names of the members of a Board of Management of a school should be made available upon request to the school in question.
