To ask the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been called to the case of the schoolmaster of Llanrwst national school; whether he is aware that the managers have served the schoolmaster with notice to terminate his appointment as from 29th September next, and that the local education authority decline to assent to this proposed dismissal; and will he say whether the Board of Education have informed the managers that they do not consider it necessary that the consent of the local education authority should be sought to the formal termination of the agreement with the teacher, and have suggested to the managers that the master may be dismissed without midi consent.

The Board have stated that they do not consider the consent of the local education authority is required to the formal termination of a teacher's agreement when such termination is merely a preliminary to the re-engagement of the teacher under a fresh agreement. The Board have not suggested that the teacher may be dismissed without the consent of the local education authority, and they do not consider the dismissal of the teacher can legally take place until such consent has been obtained.
