1306 Board Workshop - June 2013

Part One - What is School Governance?

A board has "complete discretion" to govern as it sees fit - there is no legal requirement for a board to follow this model of governance.

This model of governance used Kaikohe East School is based on "Policy Governance", sometimes called the "Carver model" after John and Miriam Carver. Our particular version was developed from Moffat, L., & Hines, E. (2003), The governance manual: school charter and policy framework. Wellington: NZSTA.
