(An opportunity for Panel Members to ask questions of the relevant Director/ Assistant Director, relating to pertinent, topical issues affecting their Directorate – maximum of 10 minutes allocated).
Minutes:
The response to the written questions was circulated. Members were reminded that whilst academies may have post holders called Trustees or Directors, these were essentially the same as traditional Governor roles. In addition, Academy Trusts usually had a small number of Members who sat above these positions and focused on the wider strategic operation of Trusts. The matter was currently scheduled to be covered as an agenda item in 2018 – 19.
Resolved: That the response be noted.
