175 (42) APPOINTMENT OF LOCAL AUTHORITY SCHOOL GOVERNORS – The Director of People submitted a report seeking approval of the appointment or reappointment of suitable candidates to serve as local authority governors.
On 29 October 2014 the process for the selection and nomination of local authority governors was agreed by cabinet member (minute 169 (33) refers). The new process required Local Authorities to have in place a process for matching applicants’ skills against governing bodies requirements.
Where a vacancy occurred, or a local authority governor’s end of term of office was approaching, the process required governing bodies to identify the skills they ideally required from any potential applicants. All potential applicants were required to complete an application form identifying the skills they held and the contribution they could make to the effective governance of the school.
Option 1 sought to match each applicant to the most appropriate governing body based on their skills, knowledge and experience. This matching process provided the opportunity for each authority governor to maximise the use of their abilities to improve outcomes for children and young people
Resolved – (a) That the following persons be (re)appointed as Authority School Governors on the schools listed, subject to the relevant CRB checks:
Enderby Road Infant School Mr Andrew Walton
