NZSTA

Sixty per cent of school trustees are planning to re-stand in the 2010 triennial trustee elections, with a further 10 per cent yet to make up their mind says the president of the NZ School Trustees Association (NZSTA).

When searching for reasons for student underachievement, the school board of trustees is not usually high on the list. However, a visiting education specialist from the US says that needs to change.

New Zealand School Trustees Association (NZSTA) is welcoming reports that back up what it has been saying to the government for a number of years – schools need more money.

Dear Editor,

Lorraine Kerr’s comments in the recent article “Clutching at Straws” amply illustrate the fundamental failing of ‘Tomorrow’s Schools’ – the division between management and staff. Any management system that sets itself against its staff is doomed to failure.

The PPTA is clutching at straws in its attempts to discredit the Tomorrow’s Schools process, and is insulting trustees in the process.
 

Taupo’s Lorraine Kerr is welcoming the chance to tackle unfinished business, following her re-election to president of the New Zealand School Trustees Association.
