(4) A school may enter into an entitlement transfer agreement re­ lating to tuition in instrumental or vocal music only with one of the secondary schools or high schools listed in the ﬁrst col­ umn of Schedule 3 of the Education (2006 Secondary School and Form 1 to 7 School Stafﬁng) Order 2005.
(5) An agreement between 3 or more schools about the relinquish­ ment and use of entitlements must be treated as a number of entitlement transfer agreements between various pairs of those schools.

26 27 Application of clause 25 to special education Clause 25 applies to entitlements in relation to special educa­ tion teachers in the same way as it applies to entitlements in relation to other teachers.

Entitlement stafﬁng Entitlement stafﬁng 28 (1) A school’s entitlement stafﬁng at a time in 2006 before its March rolls and list have been conﬁrmed by the Secretary under clause 9 is its formula­generated stafﬁng allowance, as­ certained in accordance with clause 16, based on its provi­ sional rolls as estimated under clause 7.
(2) A school’s entitlement stafﬁng at a time in 2006 after its March rolls and list have been notiﬁed under clause 9 is the greater of— (a) its formula­generated stafﬁng allowance, ascertained in accordance with clause 16, based on its provisional rolls as estimated under clause 7; and its formula­generated stafﬁng allowance, ascertained in accordance with clause 16, based on its March rolls as conﬁrmed by the Secretary under clause 9.
(b) Part 4 Limitations on employment Limitation on employment of regular teachers The Board of a school may not employ a permanently ap­ pointed regular teacher whose employment generates a num­ ber of FTTEs greater than its entitlement stafﬁng and any tu­ akana­teina allowance.
The Board of a school may not employ other regular teach­ ers whose employment generates a number of FTTEs greater 29 (1) (2) 16 Reprinted as at 4 September 2007 Education (2006 Primary School Stafﬁng) Order 2005 Part 4 cl 30 (3) than the number of FTTEs by which the school’s total regu­ lar stafﬁng allowance, at that time, is greater than the number of FTTEs generated by the employment at the school, at that time, of permanently appointed regular teachers.
The Board of a school may not make a permanent appoint­ ment of a regular teacher without the consent of the Secretary if the school’s formula­generated stafﬁng allowance based on its provisional rolls exceeds its formula­generated stafﬁng al­ lowance based on its October rolls, estimated under clause 10, by 1.0 FTTEs or more.
(4) Despite subclauses (1) and (2), the Board of a school may con­ tinue to employ any permanently appointed regular teacher who, following receipt of the Secretary’s notice of the school’s provisional rolls and list, has become supernumerary.
(5) Despite subclauses (1) and (2), the Board of a school may em­ ploy more permanently appointed regular teachers than is per­ mitted under subclause (1), and may employ more other regu­ lar teachers than is permitted under subclause (2), if,— (a) (b) (c) at some other time during the 2006 school year, the Board has employed, or will employ, fewer regular teachers than the prescribed number; and the employment of those teachers does not, at any time, cause the number of regular teachers employed by the Board at the school to exceed by more than 10% the number of FTTEs that the Board is entitled to employ at that school under subclause (1) or subclause (2); and the net effect during the 2006 school year of employing the additional teachers does not result in the school’s Board employing regular teachers representing more FTTEs than it is entitled to employ over that school year.
30 No entitlement to carry over surplus beyond 31 March 2007 If, during the 2006 school year, a Board employs fewer regular teachers at a school than equate to the number of FTTEs that the Board is entitled to employ at that school under clause 29, there is no entitlement to carry the net surplus over after 31 March 2007.
17 Part 4 cl 31 Education (2006 Primary School Stafﬁng) Order 2005 Reprinted as at 4 September 2007 31 (1) Suspension of clause 29(5) if 10% limit exceeded If, contrary to clause 29(5)(b), a Board employs a regular teacher whose employment causes the number of regular teachers employed at a school to exceed by more than 10% the number of FTTEs that the Board is entitled to employ at that school, the Secretary may notify the Board, in writing, that clause 29(5) does not apply to it.
(2) A notice under subclause (1) applies from the date on which it is received by the Board until the date on which the number of regular teachers employed by the Board at the school during the year up to that date equals the number of FTTEs that the Board was entitled to employ at that school under clause 29(1) to (3) during that period.
If a Board receives a notice under subclause (1), clause 29(5) does not apply to that Board from the date of receipt of that notice until the date on which that notice ceases to apply in accordance with subclause (2).

(3) 32 (1) Limitation on employment of principals The Board of a school may not employ more than 1 principal for the school at any time.
(2) A combined Board established under section 110 of the Act may not employ more than 1 principal for each school that the combined Board administers at any time.

Subclauses (1) and (2) do not prevent the appointment of a principal during the term of his or her predecessor in ofﬁce.
(3) Limitation on employment of deputy or assistant principals The maximum number of deputy or assistant principals (how­ ever described) that may be employed at a school is,— if the school has 21 or fewer FTTEs, 2: (a) if the school has more than 21 FTTEs, 3.
(b) Limitation on employment involving salary units Subject to clause 35, the Board of a school may not employ regular teachers to whom salary units have been allocated (whether permanently or otherwise) whose employment taken 33 34 (1) 18 Reprinted as at 4 September 2007 Education (2006 Primary School Stafﬁng) Order 2005 Part 4 cl 35 (2) 35 (1) (2) (3) together is equivalent to the employment of teachers to whom there have been allocated a total number of salary units greater than the number calculated for the school under subclause (2).
The number calculated for the school referred to in subclause (1) is calculated by— (a) adding, to get the ﬁrst result,— (i) (ii) its entitlement stafﬁng; and any resource teacher: Maori exemption granted by the Secretary under clause 37(1)(c); and subtracting 1 from the ﬁrst result to get the second re­ sult; and (b) (c) multiplying the second result by 0.72 to get the third (d) (e) result; and subtracting 0.77 from the third result to get the fourth result; and if the fourth result is not a whole number, correcting it to the nearest whole number.
Adjustment to calculation of limitation on employment involving salary units In relation to a school that is in receipt of a special education stafﬁng allowance under clause 17, clause 34 must be applied by increasing the fourth result by adding the number of salary units generated by— (a) adding the number of FTTEs of the school’s special education stafﬁng allowance to the number of FTTEs, if any, of the school’s special education management al­ lowance; and (b) multiplying the resulting sum by 0.72; and (c) if the resulting product is not a whole number, correct­ ing it to the nearest whole number.

This order, which comes into force on 15 September 2005, prescribes limitations on the numbers of regular (ie, non­relieving) teachers who may be employed at state primary schools in 2006.
It sets out how the limitations are calculated, and the circumstances in which, and conditions on which, the Secretary may grant exemptions from the limitations.

The order largely repeats the equivalent order for last year.
The sub­ stantive changes are as follows: •• the total regular stafﬁng allowance provisions in clause 27 re­ ﬂect the introduction of 2 new allowances, the “classroom re­ lease time allowance” (see clause 20) and the “supplementary learning support teacher support allowance” (see clause 24), as well as a change from the previous order’s “supplementary learning support teacher time allowance” to the “supplemen­ tary learning support time allowance” (see clause 19) in this order: a new exemption for supplementary learning support teachers (see clause 38) is available to a school’s Board: changes to the limitations on grades for principals (see clause 36) introduce the “principal grading roll”, which is based on the greater of a school’s provisional and conﬁrmed rolls and list: the deﬁnition of Maori­medium student in clause 4 is no longer restricted to students who are Maori.
