Answer
Article 9A-9D of The Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 advises that every school must have a scheme of management approved by the Department of Education. This scheme provides for the membership of the Board of Governors as well as its functions and procedures.
Should a jointly managed community school be approved for establishment the Department will work with any such school to approve a Scheme of Management.
