Board of Management
The Board of Management of Clonaslee College is the body that manages the school on behalf of the LOETB. It does so in accordance with ETB policy and in line with the Education Act. It upholds the mission statement of Clonaslee College. A school board of management is an essential part of school governance and the mission of the school will not be fully realised without an effective board of management. The primary role of a board of management is one of governance. Governance is about providing direction and oversight for a school while ensuring that the rights of all members of the school community are upheld and that the school is accountable for its work.
The functions of a board of management include:
- Policy setting and strategic planning
- Monitoring the implementation of policy, strategy and plans
- Supporting the principal and his/her staff
The Board of Management (BOM) consists of 2 persons appointed by the LOETB. The Board of Management includes 2 parent nominees, 2 community nominees, 2 teacher nominees, along with the principal and deputy principal.
The Principal of the school acts as Secretary to the Board of Management.
The BOM is established for a 3 year term and a new BOM was established in September 2025. We acknowledge the voluntary nature of this onerous position and are grateful to the Board members for their generosity in lending their time and expertise for the good of Clonaslee College.
We are very fortunate to have an excellent and extremely supportive BOM in Clonlasee college.
