Pursuant to section 78M of the Education Act 1989, I direct the Secretary for Education to appoint a limited statutory manager for the Rangiriri School Board of Trustees because of risks to the operation of the school and the educational performance of its students.
The following functions, powers and duties of the board are to be vested in a limited statutory manager:
- All functions, powers and duties of the board as an employer (whether statutory or otherwise);
- all functions, powers and duties of the board to manage financial operations (whether statutory or otherwise); and
- ensuring areas for improvement identified in the current and any future Education Review Office reports are implemented.
A limited statutory manager must also advise the board on consolidating all new and improved systems into board management practice.
The limited statutory manager will take office immediately following the term of the current commissioner, on
14 September 2007.
Dated at Wellington this 29th day of May 2007.
STEVE MAHAREY, Minister of Education.
