Post Primary School Policies: The Education Act, 1998, specifies that it is the responsibility of the Board of Management of a school to arrange for the preparation of a school plan and to ensure that it is regularly reviewed and updated. The School Development Planning Initiative (SDPI) was established in 1999 to support the process of development planning in post-primary schools. Key documents published by the School Development Planning Initiative include:
-
School Development Planning - An Introduction for Second-Level Schools
-
School Development Planning - Guidelines for Second-Level schools (This link has been removed as www.sdpi.ie is currently offline) See also Publications and media library
