2The articles of constitution shall specify the membership of the board; so however that the first such specification in respect of the board shall require that—
(a)the parent members first elected shall be of greater number than had the school board on the relevant date;
(b)the staff members first elected shall be of the same number as had the school board on that date; and
(c)the appointed members (“appointed” not including persons deemed appointed by virtue of paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 4 to this Act) shall be of greater number than had the school board of co-opted members on that date.
3In paragraph 2 above the reference to the relevant date is to the date immediately preceding the incorporation date; and for the purposes of that paragraph numbers shall be determined as if any vacancy in the membership of the school board were filled.
