Paragraph 4 Current governors continuing in officeI1

Sub-paragraph (2) applies to any member of a current governing body in respect of which a new instrument of government has been made under these Regulations.

Subject to paragraph 5 a governor to whom this paragraph applies is to continue from the implementation date (or the making of the new instrument of government if later) as a governor of the corresponding category required by the new instrument of government (if any such category exists).

A member of a current governing body who continues as a governor under sub-paragraph (2) holds office for the remainder of the term for which the governor was originally appointed or elected.

The proceedings of the governing body are not invalidated by the school having more governors of a particular category than are provided for by the new instrument of government pending removal of the surplus governors pursuant to paragraph 5.
