Regulation 13 Surplus governors
Where–
a maintained school has more governors of a particular category (other than foundation governors)f1 than are provided for by the instrument of government for the school in accordance with Part II of Schedule 9 to the 1998 Act, and
the excess is not eliminated by the required number of governors of that category resigning, such number of governors of that category as is required to eliminate the excess shall cease to hold office in accordance with paragraphs (2) and (3).
The governors who are to cease to hold office shall be determined on the basis of seniority, the governor whose current period of continuous service (whether as a governor of one or more than one category) is the shortest being the first to cease to hold office.
Where it is necessary for the purposes of paragraph (2) to select one or more governors from a group of equal seniority, it shall be done by drawing lots.
For the purposes of this regulation, additional co-opted governors nominated by a particular category of person are treated as if they constituted a separate category of governor.
