The Chairman to be heard.

The respective term limits of Roy Blackwell (2017) Helen Sanson (2018) Tim Campbell (2019) and Veronica Wadley (2020) were noted.

Members reviewed a skills matrix for the Board and noted that public relations and communications was an obvious gap in skills.

The Chairman noted that co-opted membership of the Board should reflect the three strands of the Education Strategy, and that arguably at the moment a gap existed in the ‘Excellent Education’ strand.

Members noted that co-opted Members at present offered lot of expertise in skills, an area over which the Board had little control at present.

Members further noted that two Board Members were now Sheriffs and would therefore face time pressures on their respective diaries during 2016/17.

There were no questions.

There was no other business.
