Regulation 9 Further directions
A head teacher who has given a general direction in respect of a pupil may, if he is still of the same opinion for which he gave the original direction, give a further such direction in respect of him for an operative period of not more than three months beginning –
immediately after the end of the operative period of the first direction subject to the prior written consent of three members of the governing body being obtained; and
immediately after the expiry of a further direction given under paragraph (a) subject to the prior written consent of three members of the governing body and, except in the case of a grant-maintained school, the local education authority, being obtained.
Regulation 6 shall apply to a further direction, and shall apply to the governing body’s (and, as the case may be, the local education authority's) consent as it applies to a direction.
