The Board of management for an ETB school has a clear remit to manage that school on behalf of CETB (and the trustee partner in the case of a designated community college) in accordance with the legislation, DES circulars, guidelines and procedures, and any policies or strategies that the ETB may establish regarding the operation of its schools.
The primary role of a board of management is one of governance. Governance is about providing direction and oversight for a school while ensuring that the rights of all members of the school community are upheld and that the school is accountbale for its work. The functions of the board may, in the main, be categorised under three different headings:
Policy setting and strategic planning
Monitoring the implementation of policy, strategy and plans
Supporting the principal and his/her staff.
