Governing boards given power to remove elected members New regulations came into force on 1 September enabling governing boards to remove elected (i.e. staff or parent) governors in the same way as they can appointed governors. The power is given in the School Governance (Constitution and Federations) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 , which amend the 2012 Constitution Regulations and the 2012 Federation Regulations. The procedure is the same as has existed for removing appointed governors: 1. The proposal to remove someone must be included in the agenda of a meeting. 2. The person putting the proposal gives their reasons, and the governor in question has the chance to reply. 3. A vote is taken with the person concerned absent from the room. 4. If the resolution is passed by a majority of those present, the removal must be confirmed at a subsequent meeting not less than two weeks later, with the matter again as an agenda item. 5. If the decision is confirmed at the second meeting, by a simple majority vote, the dismissal is immediate. Anyone so removed will be barred from serving as a governor of any school for a period of five years from the date of their removal. Please also see updated statutory guidance which also includes details of the appeals procedure. – link below .

  • 2019-11 Schools Block Funding
    Agenda Item 3 Rep 786 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOLS FORUM 26th November 2019 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services School Block Funding 2020-21 1. Purpose of the Report To inform the Schools Forum of the provisional schools block settlement for 2020-21 and potential implications for Derbyshire. 2. Information and Analysis As part of the government’s Spending Round 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed to Parliament that funding for schools and high needs will, compared to 2019- 20, rise by £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22, and £7.1 billion for 2022-23. On 11th October 2019 the DfE released provisional DSG funding levels for 2020-21 for each LA. Final allocations will be published in December to reflect the October 2019 pupil census. This paper focusses on the schools block, papers for the other blocks are covered elsewhere on tonight’s agenda. 2.1 Schools Block increase The government have announced the mainstream National Funding Formula (NFF) multipliers for 2020-21. Details of the current and new values are shown in Appendix 1. These increased multipliers feed directly into the calculation of the 2020-21 Schools Block budgets for each LA. By way of background, the provisional LA-level Schools Block for each sector is derived as a unit rate (Primary/Secondary Unit of Funding (PUF/SUF)) multiplied by the October 2018 pupil census. The PUF/SUF values have been derived by calculating schools’ NFF budgets for 2019-20, summing the individual amounts and dividing the aggregate total by the October 2018 pupil count.
