ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE-CHAIR OF THE SCHOOL ORGANISATION COMMITTEE FOR THE MUNICIPAL YEAR 2006/2007
Minutes:
Cllr Santry welcomed everyone to meeting and reminded members that at a previous meeting of the committee it was agreed to rotate the Chair and Vice-Chair on an annual basis. Members were advised that due to the absence of the majority of school governors it was prudent to defer the election of the Chair and Vice-Chair for the municipal year 2006-2007, to give all Members the opportunity to recommend nominations for the next meeting.
Members agreed that Cllr Engert Chair this meeting only.
Ian Bailey, Assistant Director, Children’s Services advised that it was likely that the SOC would continue until April 2007, as it was proposed that The Education Bill 2006, would enable the Council to take on the necessary decision making powers currently with the SOC.
RESOLVED
That the election of Chair and Vice-Chair be deferred until the next meeting of the Committee. Members are invited to put forward nominations for the vacant positions.
