Summary

The School Governor Appointments Panel met to nominate local authority governors for schools in Bolton. The panel agreed to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion of nominations.

Nomination of Local Authority Governors

The panel considered the nomination of local authority governors1 for schools in Bolton. Due to the confidential nature of the information, the press and public were excluded from this part of the meeting, as it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12(A) to the Local Government Act 19722. The panel agreed that the public interest favoured excluding the information from the press and public.


  1. Local authority governors are appointed by the local authority to represent the community's interests in the governance of a school. 

  2. The Local Government Act 1972 is legislation that defines the structure and functions of local authorities in England and Wales.
