Board-funded teachers The Secretary may exempt a Board, in respect of a school it administers, from the limitations imposed by this order if the Minister has given consent to the Board under section 91F(b) of the Act.

70 Overriding of clause 14(1) and (2) for supernumerary teachers after notice of provisional rolls (1) A Board may continue to employ any permanently appointed regular teacher who, following receipt of the Secretary’s notice of the school’s provisional rolls, has become supernumerary.
This clause overrides clause 14(1) and (2).
(2) 71 Overriding of clause 14(1) and (2) based on employment over all 2009 school year (1) A Board may employ more permanently appointed regular teachers than is permitted under clause 14(1), and may em- ploy more other regular teachers than is permitted under clause 14(2), if,— (a) at some other time during the 2009 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 the school under clause 14(1) or (2); and the net effect during the 2009 school year of employing the additional teachers does not result in the school’s (b) (c) 40 Reprinted as at 17 September 2010 Education (2009 School Staffing) Order 2008 Part 6 cl 73 Board employing regular teachers representing a greater number of FTTEs than it is entitled to employ over that school year.
(2) This clause overrides clause 14(1) and (2).

72 (1) (2) (3) Suspension of clause 71 if 10% limit exceeded The Secretary may notify a Board, in writing, that clause 71 does not apply to it if the circumstances in subclause (2) exist.

Clause 71 does not apply to a Board that receives a notice under subclause (1) from the date of receipt of the notice until the date on which the notice ceases to apply in accordance with subclause (4).
(4) 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 the school under clause 14(1) or (2) during that period.
73 (1) (2) (3) Exemption for surplus to carry over until 31 March 2009 If the circumstances in subclause (2) exist, a Board is ex- empted until 31 March 2009 from the limitations imposed by clause 14 in respect of any surplus as if the exemption were an exemption calculated under clause 71.
The circumstances are that the Board employed fewer regular teachers at the school during the 2008 school year than equated to the number of FTTEs that the Board was entitled to employ under a provision set out in clause 14 of the Education (2008 School Staffing) Order 2007.
In this clause, surplus means a positive number that is ob- tained by subtracting the number of FTTEs that the Board em- ployed at a school during the 2008 school year from the num- 41 Part 6 cl 74 Education (2009 School Staffing) Order 2008 Reprinted as at 17 September 2010 ber it was entitled to employ at the school under clause 14 of the Education (2008 School Staffing) Order 2007.

77 (1) (2) 78 Supplementary learning support teachers The Secretary may exempt a Board, in respect of a school it ad- ministers, from the limitations imposed by this order if either or both of the following circumstances exist: (a) the students enrolled at the school have particular edu- cational needs that can and should be met by the em- ployment of 1 or more supplementary learning support teachers, each of whom is employed as a supplementary learning support teacher for 0.6 of an FTTE or more: students enrolled at another school, or at other schools, in the area have particular needs that can and should be met by the appointment of 1 or more supplementary learning support teachers, each of whom is employed as a supplementary learning support teacher for 0.6 of an FTTE or more, and the school administered by the Board provides a base from which the supplementary learning support teacher or teachers can serve the other school or schools.

Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment.

4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice.

Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000.

Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing.

To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legisla- tion reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the au- thority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint: • omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section” and “of this Act”) typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point) layout of provisions, including: • • indentation position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section) format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks) format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”) 53 • • • • Notes Education (2009 School Staffing) Order 2008 Reprinted as at 17 September 2010 • • • • • • • position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act) punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions) Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly case and appearance of letters and words, including: • format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial cap- ital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter) small capital letters in section and subsection ref- erences are now capital letters • schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accord- ingly running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page) format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chrono- logical).
