Regulation 5 Disqualification from membership of more than four governing bodies
A person shall be disqualified for holding office as a governor of a school if, were he to be appointed or elected to that office, he would, at the date the appointment or election would have taken effect, be a member of the governing bodies of more than four schools.
Where a person is on 8th September 1989 a member of the governing bodies of more than four schools then, on that date, he shall be disqualified for continuing to hold office as a governor of those schools, without prejudice however, subject to paragraph (1), to his re-appointment or re-election as a governor of one or more thereof.
A person who becomes an ex officio member of the governing bodies of more than four schools shall be disqualified for continuing to hold office as such save in the case of such four or lower number of those bodies as may for the time being be designated by him for the purposes hereof by notice in writing given to the clerks to the governing bodies so designated and to the clerks to the other governing bodies of which he would otherwise have been an ex officio member.
A notice under sub-paragraph (a) shall be expressed to have effect from a date not earlier than two months after the date thereof.
Where a person–
is a temporary governor of a school by virtue of his having been appointed under a provision made by virtue of Schedule 2 to the 1986 Act; or
is a governor or temporary governor of a school ex officio;
that governorship shall be disregarded when the number of governorships is calculated for the purpose of paragraphs (1) and (2) above.
Where there is a single governing body for a group of two or more schools, that group shall be treated for the purposes of this regulation as if it were a single school.
