School Accounts

What constitutes an adequate accounting system
will depend on the size of the shool and the diversity of its
activities.  However, a computerised template of an efficient accounting
system is available on the Department’s website.  Boards of Management
are asked to consider utlising this package for accountimg systems (DES
2011, Constitution of Boards and Rules of Procedure, pp 27/28).

Supervision 2011/2012

CPSMA has published a document, “Supervision 2011/12-Payments to Substitutes/External Supervisors”, which we trust will be of assistance to Boards of Management of Primary Schools in dealing with the whole area of supervision payments.

School Building Projects and Building Works

School building projects, irrespective of your budget, require considerable care and attention from Boards of Management. The Department of Education and Skills provides guidance in relation to 

  • School design
  • Design team procedures
  • Tender documentation
  •  Appointment of consultants
  • Design guidance
  •  Exemplar designs and templates
  •  Technical guidance documents.

Technical Guidance Documents Updates
Technical guidance documents are regularly updated. 

For example DES published a new Suite of Design Team Procedures in April, 2012; new planning and design guidance in August, 2012; three new technical guidance documents in September, 2012; and further technical guidance documents in November 2012.
