APPOINTMENT OF LA GOVERNORS PDF 113 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Cabinet Member considered applications received for Local Authority Governor vacancies within the county. Nominations had been invited from the Chairperson, Head teacher and Local Member(s) in the case of Primary Schools/ the member(s) who were governors in the case of Secondary Schools.
It was noted that Local Authority Governors are appointed for 4 years, and where the vacancy has occurred as a result of an individual’s term of office coming to an end, this was noted in the details for that particular person if he/she was seeking appointment.
