Answer
The Education Authority (EA) has advised that it does not hold a record of all meetings, though does retain minutes provided by Boards of Governors (BoG) under the Scheme of Management for controlled schools.
| However, it should be noted that the absence of submitted minutes to the EA does not mean BoG meetings have not taken place. Schools names have not been provided. There may be several reasons why schools may not have submitted minutes, and particularly given the continued challenges of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, EA endeavours to anonymise the information where possible unless it is required specifically. The table below lists the BoG minutes submitted to EA from Primary Schools in the Strangford Parliamentary Constituency area:
