In 2007 a School Improvement Board was established by the Minister for Education for each of the Learning Services groups, South, South-East, North, North-West. Membership consists of five principals from the Learning Services group’s schools and colleges, and two members external to the Department of Education with expertise in business management and/or experience in successful community relationships, appointed by the Minister.
The four regional boards meet three to five times a year to:
- ensure that the Learning Services group is responding to the improvement plans and needs of schools;
- ensure that state-wide programs managed by the Learning Services group are meeting the needs of schools across the state;
- provide advice in relation to its functions.
The four Schools Improvement Boards will meet together once annually to:
- provide advice to the Minister on the improvement and development of the Tasmanian schools network, including progress to date and opportunities for further improvement;
- identify ways to enhance the Tasmanian schools network towards a single, seamless system;
- review education system performance against Tasmania Together targets;
- develop strategies for stronger school and community relationships.
