Paraparaumu Beach School Board
Notice of vacancy for a parent representative
5 July 2024
Kia ora PBS whānau,
A casual vacancy has occurred on the PBS Board for an elected parent representative, as a result of the recent resignation of a trustee due to other commitments.
The Board has decided to fill this vacancy by selection.
Further information about the process is available at School Board Elections | Casual vacancies for elected board members
Please note: even though the Board wishes to fill the vacancy by selection, if 10% or more of eligible voters on the school roll ask the Board, within 28 days of this notice being published, to hold a by-election to fill the vacancy, then a by-election will be held instead.
If fewer than 10% of eligible voters request a by-election, the Board will confirm at the end of the 28-day notification period that the vacancy will be filled by a selection process. The Board will then explain how those interested in being considered for the role can apply. The Board must select a person to be a trustee within six weeks of the end of the 28-day notification period.
The Board will be seeking a trustee in line with the criteria set out in Schedule 23 clause 1 of the Education and Training Act 2020, including that the Board reflects the ethnic and
socio-economic diversity of the student community, and the character of the community served by the school.
If you wish to request that a by-election occur, instead of a selection process, please
send a request by 2 August 2024 to:
Matt Hudson (Chairperson)
Board of Trustees, Paraparaumu Beach School,
65 Gray Avenue, Paraparaumu Beach 5032
