Each parent of a pupil in St. Declan's is automatically a member of the P.A. Any parent who wishes to do so may become a committee member of the P.A. The committee meets once a month on a very informal basis. This monthly meeting is the ideal forum for the parents to be kept informed of school policy and events that are happening in the school as well as giving them an opportunity to express their views on how the school is or should be addressing certain issues pertaining to the school, the pupils and the parents. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Board of Management The board of management of the school consists of 8 members.
