The Education (School Government) (Wales) Regulations 1999

Termination and adjournment of meetings

36.—(1) If the number of members of the governing body who are present at the time and place appointed for a meeting thereof does not constitute a quorum for the purposes of regulation 37 the meeting shall not be held.

(2) A meeting of the governing body shall be terminated forthwith if—

(a) the governing body so resolve; or

(b) the number of members present ceases to constitute a quorum for a meeting of the governing body in accordance with regulation 37.

(3) Where in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) a meeting is not held or is terminated before all the matters specified as items of business on the agenda for the meeting have been disposed of, a further meeting shall be convened by the clerk to the governing body as soon as is reasonably practicable.

(4) Where the governing body resolve in accordance with paragraph (2)(a) to adjourn a meeting before all the items of business on the agenda have been disposed of, the governing body shall before doing so determine the time and date at which a further meeting is to be held for the purposes of completing the consideration of those items, and they shall direct the clerk to the governing body to convene a meeting accordingly.

(5) In any case falling within paragraph (4) above, the governing body may determine that the further meeting referred to in that paragraph shall be held at a date and time which, because of its proximity in time to the adjourned meeting, would not allow the clerk to the governing body a sufficient period for the purpose of giving the notice required by regulation 34:

provided that in such a case the clerk to the governing body shall use his best endeavours to secure that any member of the governing body not present at the first meeting is informed of the time and date of the further meeting.
