Issue - meetings

Report CSD16

The Rochester Diocesan Board of Education (RDBE) was proposing to change its Articles of Association and in particular to reduce the number of trustees serving on the Board. Four local authorities were currently represented on the Board (the London Boroughs of Bromley and Bexley, Medway Council and Kent County Council) and they had all been asked to nominate a representative to attend Board meetings, but these representatives would not in future be eligible to vote. 

No objections had been raised to the proposals by the Portfolio Holder for Education, the Council’s current representative on the RDBE, Councillor Kate Lymer, the Education Select Committee Chairman or the Director of Education.

RESOLVED that the Chairman be authorised to sign on behalf of the Council to consent to the removal of rights of appointment granted to the Council and agree that the proposed new Articles of Association may replace the existing Articles of Association.
