  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nPart II of the Local Government Act 2000 provides for the discharge of a local authority’s functions by an executive of an authority (which must take one of the forms specified in section 11 of that Act) unless those functions are not to be the responsibility of the authority’s executive. The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Functions and Responsibilities) (Wales) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/399 (W.45)) (“the Principal Regulations”) specify those functions that are not to be the responsibility of an authority’s executive or are to be the responsibility of such an executive only to a limited extent or only in specified circumstances.\nThese Regulations amend the Principal Regulations.\nSchedule 2 to the Principal Regulations lists those functions which may be (but need not be) the responsibility of an authority’s executive. Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends this list by adding functions in respect of the approval or determination of school organisation proposals under sections 51 or 53 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013.\nThe effect of this amendment is that a local authority has discretion as to whether the functions in question are the responsibility of the executive.",
