Carlton School Board - Rōpū Āhei i te Kura
The Board of Trustees is a crown entity responsible for the governance of schools. A Board is elected every three years by the parents of the school. The principal and an elected staff representative are also members of the Board.
The governance role means the Board is responsible for ensuring that regulations within the Education Act are complied with. However it is the principal who is responsible for the management of the school and who has responsibility for decision-making and the daily running of the school in all its aspects.
