School authorities of public general education schools (primary and secondary schools) are often the municipalities in which the school is located. Additionally, the Oberbergischer Kreis is the school authority for three vocational colleges and five special schools, the special school association is the school authority for two special schools, and the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR) is the school authority for one special school. A few schools are under private sponsorship.

The responsibilities of a public school authority are defined in the School Act for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (§ 78 School Authorities of Public Schools).

Key responsibilities of school authorities include:

  • Provision of school buildings and premises

  • Transportation of students

  • Responsibility for inventory and financial resources

  • Provision of personnel: building cleaning, janitorial services, school secretariats

  • Development of a school development plan

For questions regarding these matters, please contact the school authorities of the respective school.

Content-related matters of teaching and school administration, however, are regulated by the school supervisory authorities .
