Clause 54 - Power of lea to provide for governing body to consist of interim executive members
Education Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I want to elicit further information from the Minister. I would like to know what an interim executive member of a governing body is, as distinct from an appointed member of a governing body. I particularly want to understand the use of the word ''executive'' in this instance. In most schools, executive responsibilities belong to the head teacher. I would have thought that such powers should rest with head teachers, in accordance with the new head teacher and governor code of practice.
