They were responsible for the building and maintenance of schools, staffing and attendance of pupils. They were overseen by the Scottish Board of Education. School boards were abolished under the Education (Scotland) Act, 1918 and replaced with school management committees. From 1873 to 1919 schools were managed by Parish School Boards . From 1919 to 1930 these were replaced by School Management Committees and overseen by the Education Authority for the area.
