Pursuant to section 78M of the Education Act 1989, I direct the Secretary for Education to appoint a limited statutory manager for the Kutarere School Board of Trustees because of the risks to the operation of the school and the educational performance of its students.
The following functions, powers and duties of the board are vested in a limited statutory manager:
- All functions, powers and duties of the board as an employer (whether statutory or not);
- all functions, powers and duties of the board to manage financial operations (whether statutory or not);
- all functions, powers and duties of the board to manage curriculum (whether statutory or otherwise); and
- ensuring areas for improvement identified in the February 2007 Education Review Office report are implemented.
A limited statutory manager must also advise the board on the following matters:

The limited statutory manager will take office, immediately following the term of the current commissioner, on
14 December 2007.
