State schools
New Zealand’s state schools are managed in partnership between the Ministry and the school board of trustees. Boards of trustees delegate some of their responsibilities for property work to project managers.
Integrated schools
State-integrated schools are former private schools that have become part of the state system. They receive some government funding to maintain and modernise the integrated school buildings and must meet minimum standards.
Private schools
Private schools apply to be registered with the Ministry. We do not own private school property. The school owner is responsible for all property maintenance and modifications.

The Property Management Information System (PMIS) is a computer-based system that the Ministry and schools use to record information about schools.
