Subject: FW: Proposed amendments to School
Organisation Regulations - Consultation
Martin
I'm replying
further to your emails to Chris and Trevor and your contribution to the
consultation process.
We have taken on
board your comments and are taking legal advice in order to remove the
contradiction of nursery representatives when nursery schools are less than
5% of the pupil population.
There appears to
be nothing in current regulations that would prevent a member of the
schools group representing two types/categories of school. If we make the
amendment re nurseries and 5% it would still allow for such representation and
also, would prevent such a member from inadvertently being barred because he was
also governor of a school of less than 5% of the population.
We hope to
shortly go to Ministers with these changes for their
consideration.
Thank you again
for your contribution to the consultation and in particular for drawing
these points to our attention.
Regards
Jo Bell
