The general responsibilities of a Board of Management have been described at 2.10 above. Implicit in these is a responsibility for the creation of a working environment which promotes the learning and welfare of students (see Chapter 7.0 below) and which facilitates the professional development and welfare of school personnel. In practice, this responsibility is delegated to the Principal of the school under the direction of the Board of Management.

Matters of policy regarding personnel management are a matter for the Board of Management while the Principal’s task in this regard is an executive one.
