The functions of the National School Management Boards are those assigned to the manager under the rules for national schools. The main provision is in rule 15, section (1) of which reads as follows:
The manager of a national school is charged with the direct government of the school, the appointment of the teachers, subject to the Minister's approval, their removal and the conducting of the necessary correspondence.
A document on the constitution and rules of procedure for national school management boards has just been issued. I am having copies made available to the Oireachtas Library.
