Admin history/BiographyCampsie School Board was the education authority for the parish of Campsie, Stirlingshire, between 1873 and 1919. It was responsible for schools in Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie, Torrance and the Clachan of Campsie.
The Education (Scotland) Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict., c.62) created school boards in Scotland with a statutory duty to provide education for all children between the ages of 5 and 13. The boards had an elected membership made up of owners and occupiers of property of the value of £4 or over, and were responsible for the building and maintenance of schools, staffing and attendance of pupils. They were overseen by a central authority, the Scotch Board of Education.
School boards were abolished by the Education (Scotland) Act 1918 (8 & 9 Geo. V, c.48) and replaced by education authorities and school management committees.
