Board of Trustees

GEIS Board of Trustees (September 2022 - 2025)**

Board of Trustees

All of New Zealand's state and state-integrated schools have a Board of Trustees (BOT). The BOT is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of school. It is accountable for ensuring that the school is run in the best interests of its students, staff and community.

The Principal is the Board’s chief executive and has complete discretion to manage the day-to-day administration of the school as they think fit, so long as it complies with the Board’s general policy decisions.

Who is on the Board of Trustees?

At Glen Eden Intermediate our Board is made up of:

The Principal of the School

One elected staff representative

Parent elected trustees

Co-opted trustees (as needed)

Trustees are elected by the parent community and staff members. Elections for staff trustees are held every three years (next elections in 2025). Parent trustees are elected for a three year term.

Board of Trustees' Meetings

The Board meets once a month between February and December. Meetings are open to the public, however they are not public meetings where everyone has the right to speak. Speaking rights can be granted in advance by the Board Presiding Member. In some instances, parts of Board meetings are closed to the public when the Board is discussing confidential matters.

Getting Involved

Standing for the BOT is a great way to get involved in your child’s education. Training and support are available to assist with carrying out this responsibility. The New Zealand School Trustees Association (NZSTA) website contains information for current or potential trustees www.nzsta.org.nz
