EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

This Order modifies various statutory provisions relating to employment to take account of the requirement contained in the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 for local education authorities to delegate financial management of schools to their governing bodies. While a school has a delegated budget, the governing body have powers as to the appointment, suspension, discipline and dismissal of staff at the school, although the local education authority remains the employer of staff at community, voluntary controlled and community special schools. The local education authority may also be the employer of certain non-teaching staff at foundation, voluntary aided and foundation special schools.
