NRS-3711 | Minute books [Denominational School Board]

Minutes of the weekly and special meetings of the Board which show date of meeting, members present, matters tabled for the Board's consideration, and the Board's decision in each case. The minutes cover all aspects of the Board's responsibilities, including confirmation of the appointment, dismissal and transfer of teaching staff, consideration of Inspectors' reports, requisitions for furniture and teaching equipment, and applications for additional grants in aid from denominational authorities (eg. for the erection or improvement of school buildings). At each meeting payments authorised by the Board were noted, and at ordinary meetings the Board's old account and current account passbooks were submitted and the balance in each account noted. In some cases letters received and sent were copied up, for example letters received concerning the manner in which the Board was required by the Colonial Treasurer to account for moneys advanced from Consolidated Revenue under Parliamentary appropriation.
