NO MORE POWER FOR EDUCATION BOARDS
OPPOSITION TOO STRONG The authority of the Education Board is not to be increased further by legislation this session. The Minister of Education has advised the Auckland Board that it was not possible to promote legislation this session to include discretionary power over married women teachers and authority to hold conferences of boards. However, these two suggestions would be reconsidered before the next session. In view of the strong opposition already encountered to the clause giving boards power to penalise teachers for wilful disobedience and negiect, the Minister considered -that it vrould be futile to attempt to seek power of suspension. The Department considered that the maximum penalty of £lO would be adequate for the minor offences.
Hawke's Bay, Otago and Wellington Boards wrote supporting the representation that boards should be allowed to convene conferences without authority from the Minister.
