Meetings of the Board must be held at least once in every school term, and Boards are required to hold such other meetings as may be necessary for the efficient discharge of their functions. In practice most Boards of Management hold meetings at monthly intervals, with the exception of July and August.

The Secretary of the Board convenes the meetings, giving at least seven days written notice of a meeting and specifying the business proposed to be transacted at the meeting. Where urgent business arises, which must be dealt with quickly, the Secretary, with the agreement of the Chairperson, may give shorter notice provided this procedure has been approved previously by the Board of Management.

In addition, a meeting of the Board may be convened by any five of its voting members all of whom must sign the request for the meeting. [Deed of Trust for Community Schools, First Schedule, Instrument of Management 9(b)and 10(a) ]
