Elections will be arranged by individual schools over the coming weeks for appointments to new Boards of Management that will take up office from 1 December 2011.
Membership of a Board of Management is designed to reflect all the different interests in the school community (patron, parents, teachers and wider community).
There will be elections for approximately 3,300 Boards of Management with generally eight members per Board, two of whom are parent representatives.
The procedures for the appointment and operation of the new Boards of Management are being published today on the Department's website.
