Report RES13071
The Chairman introduced a report providing an update from the School Governance Working Group which had been established by the Education PDS Committee at its meeting on 23rd January 2013 to ensure that the Local Authority had a pool of well trained governors able to play an effective role in ensuring that schools were well governed. The School Governance Working Group had met on 12th March 2013 to discuss a range of issues impacting on the recruitment, role and responsibilities of Local Authority Governors and had made a number of recommendations around how this could be better developed.
In considering the report, Members of the Committee suggested that local libraries and the back of parking stickers might also be used to advertise the role of Local Authority Governors to members of the public.
RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to:
1) Note Members’ comments on the recommendations of the School Governance Working Group; and,
2) Support the recommendations of the School Governance Working Group.
