EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 14



14.(1) Notwithstanding anything in any statute or scheme made thereunder or in
any charter, deed, memorandum of association, articles of association or other
document constituting the school or under which land used for the school is
vested or which otherwise relates to the school or the land used for the
school, the trustees of any voluntary school may, with the consent of the
Ministry given after consultation with the appropriate board, transfer to the
Ministry the school (which expression in this Article includes any land,
equipment or teachers' residences held or used in connection with the school
by the trustees or managers of the school) upon such terms as may be agreed by
the trustees, the Ministry and the relevant board and the provisions of
Schedule 7 shall apply to any such transfer.

(2) The terms on which a school is transferred to the Ministry under paragraph
(1) may contain a provision that in specified circumstances the school should
be transferred back to the original transferors or transferred to such other
persons as may be specified.

(3) A school transferred under paragraph (1) shall, on the date of the
transfer, become a controlled school and the Ministry shall place it under the
management of the appropriate board and may, subject to the terms on which the
school was transferred to the Ministry, convey to that board any estate in
land relating to the school and, whether or not it does so, may transfer to
the board any equipment, furniture or other movable contents of the school
transferred to it under paragraph (1).

(4) The trustees of a school transferred under paragraph (1) shall, from the
date of the transfer, be absolutely freed and discharged from all
responsibility in connection with the school whether under any deed of trust
or otherwise.

(5) The existing staff of teachers in a school transferred under paragraph (1)
shall from the date of transfer be placed as regards appointment, dismissal
and remuneration on terms not less favourable than those applicable to them
before the transfer and any question which may arise as to the fulfilment or
observance of the provisions or requirements of this paragraph shall be
referred to the Ministry whose decision thereon shall be final.

(6) Where a school is vested in the Ministry at the date of the coming into
operation of this Article and has not at that date been transferred to a
former local education authority, the Ministry may place the school under the
management of the appropriate board but shall not do so without the consent of
the manager or managers of the school and where it does so, the Ministry may
convey to that board any estate in land relating to the school.

(7) In this Article "the appropriate board" in relation to a school means the
board for the area in which the school is situated, or such other board as the
Ministry may determine.
