Minutes:

The Local Authority School Governor Appointments Panel considered the report of the Strategic Director – People, which informed Members of current Local Authority School Governor vacancies within Cheshire East maintained schools and recommended individuals for appointment and re-appointment to identified posts. Additional information in respect of five new appointments was tabled, together with two re-appointments.

 

There were 359 LA Governor positions across Cheshire East’s 151 maintained schools.  97 of these positions (27%) were currently vacant.  The latest benchmarking information (2009) showed 10.1% of all LA Governor positions to be vacant and 10.8% of all governor positions (of all categories)

 

It was noted that subsequent to the previous meeting, it had transpired that there was only one vacancy at Acton CE Primary School.  Mr A I Matthews and Mr J Percival had been appointed to the same vacancy.  It was now reported that Mr J Beech, whose term of office as a Governor at Acton C of E School had come to an end on 31st August 2009, was unable to continue as a governor for health reasons and did not wish to be considered for reappointment.  In the light of this, there were now two vacancies to be filled at Acton School.

 

RESOLVED:  (a) That Mr J Percival be appointed to one of the two vacancies at Acton CE Primary School with effect from 17th October 2009;

 

(b) That Mr A I Matthews be appointed to the second vacancy at Acton CE Primary School with effect from 17th October 2009;

 

(c) That the following appointments be approved with effect from 17th October 2009, for a four year period;
