Important Note:

Board members are not delegates of their electorates. They have no obligation to either report back to their electors or to take instruction from them on how to vote at board meetings. Such reporting may be a breach of confidentiality requirements. It is a matter for each board to decide what may be reported and by whom and, in this respect, it is essential that personnel, financial and personal matters are dealt with in line with relevant confidentiality requirements. Decisions arrived at by consensus or by vote are decisions of the board. Individual members of the board are obliged to keep the matters discussed at meetings confidential, unless otherwise agreed by the board and where so agreed, members of the board must not publicly criticise or make any negative public comment about board decisions, irrespective of their own personal views on the matter. Section 9.3 provides for the board to put in place an agreed report to support good communications to parents, staff and the school community. The agreed report shall not include details of any issues which must remain confidential to board members.
