School boards, the size and composition of which is laid down in the "School Board Regulations 1989", were only established when sufficient parent members are elected through contested or uncontested regular elections, or by-elections. In cases where insufficient parents were elected to form a school board, a board could be established through the co-option of some parent members. Where a School Board did not exist, this is either because the school is a non-qualifying school, or because no board was formed as a result of a regular election, a by-election or under other provisions.
