Regulation 19 Chair and vice-chair of the shadow governing bodyI1

The shadow governing body must, at their first meeting, elect a chair and vice-chair of the shadow governing body from among their number.

A person employed to work at the school may not be elected as chair or vice-chair, however nothing in this regulation prevents an interim executive member from being elected as chair or vice-chair.

The chair or vice-chair of the shadow governing body may, at any time, resign that office by giving notice in writing to the clerk to the shadow governing body.

The chair or vice-chair of the shadow governing body ceases to hold office if that person ceases to be a shadow governor, or becomes employed to work at the school.

Where a vacancy arises in the office of chair or vice-chair, the shadow governing body must at their next meeting elect one of their number to fill that vacancy.

Where the chair is absent from any meeting or there is at the time a vacancy in the office of the chair, the vice-chair must act as the chair for all purposes.
