Paragraph 2

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

In appointing a person to be a co-opted governor, the relevant governors—

(a)

shall have regard to the extent to which the governing body of the maintained school includes members of the local community;

(b)

shall have regard to any representations made to the governing body as to the desirability of increasing the connection between the governing body of the maintained school and the local community; and

(c)

where it appears to them that no member of the governing body of the maintained school is a member of the local community or that it is desirable to increase the number of governors who are members of the local community, shall co-opt a person who appears to them to be a member of that community.
