Francis Jordan Catholic School Board
Call for Nominations
This is to advise you that our ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING will be held in the Library on Thursday 28 November at 6.00pm. This is a shared meeting between the School Board and the P & F Association. The purpose of the meeting is to report to the parent body on the activities of the Board and P & F during the current year, to outline plans for the future and to conduct elections to each body for the following year. The School Board will also present the draft budget for 2020.
We look forward to having you attend the meeting and hope you will see your way clear to nominate for election on the enclosed Nomination Form. Nomination forms should be returned to the School by Friday 15 November.
The School Board provides an opportunity for greater involvement of the local community in the school. Involvement in the School Board is voluntary and provides an opportunity for parents to exercise their talents and skills for the educational good of the pupils and for the management and planning of the school.
The Board is responsible for the efficient financial management of the school and also advises on broad policy matters concerning the curriculum and management of the school. The Board meets on a monthly basis with its Annual General Meeting being held in November of each year. At that particular meeting, a report by the Board Chairperson is presented as well as the provisional budget for the ensuing year. Also at that time, the election of members to the Board for the following year is held.
The Board currently meets on a monthly basis, on a Wednesday.
The Board shall carry out the following functions in pursuit of its objectives:
- planning for the present and future operation of the school;
- disseminating information about the school and about Catholic education to persons and organisations in the school community;
- managing all the finances associated with the school;
- giving due consideration to school policy with financial implications.
