Regulation 9 Vacation of office

Where a parent governor representative completes his term of office or that office becomes vacant for any other reason, the local education authority shall ensure that an election is held to fill the vacancy and that the date of the election falls in time for the vacancy to be filled not later than six months after the date on which the vacancy occurred.

Where a parent governor representative does not complete his term of office, the local education authority may decide whether his successor should be appointed for a full term of office determined in accordance with regulation 8(b), for the unexpired portion of the previous term of office, or for the aggregate of the unexpired portion of that term and a further full term, provided that such aggregate period does not exceed four years.
