Agenda item

Jessica Bailiss gave the following updates regarding Membership for the Schools’ Forum:

• Angela Hayes’ Term of Office would cease at the end of December 2018 and consultation was taking place through the Primary Headteacher Executive Group to find a replacement representative.
• Keith Harvey and Antony Gallagher’s term of office would come to an end in January 2019 and they were consulting with the relevant forum.

·         There was still a Secondary Governor Representative vacancy. Expressions of interest had been sought however, no interest was shown and therefore consultation with Governors would continue.

• Regarding the Primary Governor Representative vacancy, an election had been coordinated (and the deadline extended) however, no nominations had been received. The election process would run again early in the New Year.
• Regarding the Academy Governor Representative vacancy, an election was underway and nominations had been received. This is not normally something the Local Authority would undertake on behalf of the academies however, there was more than one Governor interested in the position and therefore an election process was required. The result of the election would be announced on the 13^th December 2018.
