  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (School Government) (England) Regulations 1999 (“the SGR”).\nRegulation 3 inserts references to section 18 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 into regulations 29 and 30 of the SGR. This is to ensure that when the Secretary of State nominates the chairman of the governing body of a school in special measures the governing body’s duty to elect a chairman does not apply and the governing body cannot remove the Secretary of State’s appointee.\nRegulation 4 rationalises the requirements for the quorum for governing body meetings.\nRegulation 5 amends regulation 38 of the SGR so that a governing body’s decision to discontinue a school must be confirmed at a second meeting held at least 28 days after the initial decision. It also amends regulation 38 to prevent the proceedings of a governing body being invalidated by a defect in the appointment of the chairman or vice-chairman.\nRegulation 6 amends regulation 42 of the SGR so that governing bodies cannot delegate decisions about membership of their committees. It also provides that decisions on the appointment and dismissal of clerks to committees and target setting responsibilities can be delegated to committees but not to individuals.\nRegulation 7 amends regulations 47 and 49 of the SGR so that it is clear that staff dismissal committees and dismissal appeal committees set up with two governor members cannot consider cases or vote unless both members are present.\nRegulation 9 amends Schedule 2 to the SGR to make it clear that a member of staff cannot be present at a meeting whilst the appointment of his successor is discussed and cannot vote on that appointment.\nRegulations 8, 10, 11 and 12 correct drafting errors.",
