Board Of Governors - Parent Representatives

19th Jun 2018
I wanted to thank the 30+ parents who came along last night to elect the Parent Representatives for the incoming four years.   As I am sure you will know, a Controlled School like 'The Central' has 9 members on the Board of Governors.   This Board is made up of ...   4 Transferor Representatives...representing the original churches that 'transfered' control to the forerunner of the Education Authority (in our case Drummaul Parish & 1st Randalstown Presbyterian Churches)   2 Parent Representatives...representing the current body of parents in the school.   2 Eduation Authority Representatives...representing the controlling body.   and 1 Teacher...representing the staff of the school.   What always seems to surprise people is that the the Principal is NOT a member of the Board of Governors...the Principal can attend meetings, but can not vote in decisions !   The first group of people to be decided upon for the new session of Governors 2018-2022 were the Parent Representatives.   Last night we had 5 candidates standing for election...I would like to thank each of them for putting themselves forward for election and for speaking so well at the meeting. Each candidate acquitted themselves well and no doubt would have been an asset to the Board of Governors....so thank you to Nigel, Jayne, Richard, Iain and Michael.   In the end the two elected parents were Mr Nigel Beckett and Mr Richard Kelly. We wish them well in their term of office.
