Local Authority Appointments to School Governing Bodies
The report of the Director of Children Services informs Members of current Local Authority Governor vacancies within Cheshire East maintained schools.
Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Panel considered the Director’s report on vacancies within Cheshire East maintained schools and the applications received for appointment or re-appointment to identified posts.
Additional information was tabled at the meeting in respect of one new appointment and five re-appointments.
The Panel was informed that the Government had
confirmed that from
1 September 2014 any governing body that reconstitutes would do so
under the terms of the 2012 regulations, and would be required to
have reconstituted by 31 August 2015.
This would have a significant impact on the number of Local
Authority (LA) Governors as the new regulations only allowed for
one LA Governor per school. This would
also impact on the role of the Panel, as its role as an appointing
body would not continue beyond summer 2015, although the obligation
remained to nominate a LA governor to maintained schools from
September 2015. From 1 September 2015,
the Panel would have an obligation to nominate a LA governor to
maintained schools but the appointment would be made by the
governing body. The Panel’s role
as an appointing body would continue beyond summer 2015 only with
respect to Academies who have a position for a LA governor in their
Articles of Association and where the LA has statutory intervention
powers.
