Under section 78M of the Education Act 1989, I direct the Secretary for Education to appoint a limited statutory manager for the board of trustees of Featherston School because
of the risks to the educational performance of its children and the operation of the school.
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); and
- all functions, powers and duties of the board in curriculum management including teaching and assessment practice (whether statutory or otherwise).
A limited statutory manager must also advise the board on the following:
- Effective communication with its staff and community; and
- board systems and processes (whether statutory or otherwise) for school-wide self-review.
This notice takes effect the day of publication.
Dated at Wellington this 12th day of June 2013.
HON HEKIA PARATA, Minister of Education.
