Regulation 47 Suspension of temporary governors
Subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) the temporary governing body may by resolution suspend a temporary governor for all or any meetings of the temporary governing body or of any of their committees for a fixed period of up to 6 months on one or more of the following grounds—
that the temporary governor, being a person paid to work at the new school, is the subject of disciplinary proceedings in relation to his employment;
that the temporary governor is the subject of proceedings in any court or tribunal, the outcome of which may be that he is disqualified from continuing to hold office as a governor under Schedule 2;
that the temporary governor has acted in a way that is inconsistent with the ethos or with the religious character of the school and has brought or is likely to bring the school or the temporary governing body or his office into disrepute; or
that the temporary governor is in breach of his duty of confidence to the new school or to the staff or pupils.
A resolution to suspend a temporary governor from office shall not have effect unless the matter is specified as an item of business on the agenda for the meeting of which notice has been given in accordance with regulation 43(4).
Before a vote is taken on a resolution to suspend a temporary governor, the temporary governor proposing the suspension shall at that meeting state his reasons for doing so, and the temporary governor who is the subject of the resolution shall be given the opportunity to make a statement in response before withdrawing from the meeting in accordance with paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 3.
Nothing in this regulation shall be read as affecting the right of a temporary governor who has been suspended to receive notices of, and agendas and reports or other papers for, meetings of the temporary governing body during the period of his suspension.
