Pursuant to section 105A of the Education Act 1989, I hereby amend the notice of alternative constitution for the Rai Valley Area School Board of Trustees (published in the New Zealand Gazette, 12 December 2013, No. 167, page 4552) by replacing the full text of that notice with the following:

“The alternative constitution for the Rai Valley Area School Board of Trustees shall be:

• three parent trustees;
• one staff trustee;
• one student trustee;
• the principal of the school;
• up to one trustee appointed by the Ministry of Education’s local Director of Education; and
• up to two co-opted trustees.

The constitution will operate as if sections 96, 97, 99, 101, 102, 104 and 105 of the Education Act 1989 apply where relevant.

All current elected and appointed trustees will remain in office until the date that the newly elected trustees take office following the first election under this amended alternative constitution.

Changes to the constitution of the board will be subject to the approval of the Minister of Education and must be notified in the New Zealand Gazette.”

This notice shall come into effect on 2 June 2016.

Dated in Wellington this 14th day of April 2016.

Hon HEKIA PARATA, Minister of Education.
