Minister urges parents to stand for management positions [educationmatters.ie]

Over 3,200 primary schools around the country will hold elections next month for 22,000 positions on their boards of management.
Members of school boards work in an entirely voluntary capacity and receive no financial remuneration for their input.
The current 4-year term for members of school boards ends on November 30 – although representatives may stand again if they so decide. The new boards will take up office on December 1.
As the elections loom, Minister Ruairi Quinn is keen to raise awareness among parents about their entitlement to help in the management of children’s education and the opportunities available to them in this regard.
