Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services on officers as governors. Members noted that officers should be, where possible, provided more time away from work to undertake governing duties, and that staff in the City of London Corporation’s Education Unit should not be precluded from becoming governors in City schools. The Board noted that the proposal related to City academies rather than the wider family of City schools.

RESOLVED, that

·         Subject to the agreement of the Policy and Resources Committee, officers of the City of London Corporation with appropriate experience and skills should be eligible to be nominated or appointed to fill appropriate governor vacancies on the City of London Academies Trust local governing bodies where the vacancy does not require the appointee to be an elected member of the Court of Common Council.
