The School Board (Scotland) Act 1988 led to the setting up of a School Board for every primary, secondary and special school. The Board, which is composed of parents, staff and co-opted members with the Head Teacher as professional adviser, has duties, rights and responsibilities in relation to the management of the school. These include:-

a) consulting with parents and reporting to parents on matters of interest;

b) encouraging the development of links between the school and parents;

c) taking part in the selection of senior promoted staff to the school;

d) discussing and approving the Head Teacher’s plans for purchasing books and educational materials;

e) setting dates for occasional holidays in consultation with interested parties;

f) under the direction of the education authority, assisting in the letting of school premises;

g) receiving reports from the Head Teacher and education authority;

h) receiving an annual budget for administration, training and other expenses;
