The proposed charter schools legislation was introduced to Parliament on June 23. It details how charter schools will be reintroduced in New Zealand – including the process for school conversions and how this effects the conditions of employment for teachers and staff already in the school.
Due to this amendment, the submission deadline has been extended by 2 working days until 5pm on Monday 29 July.
This Amendment proposes the following changes to the legislation:
- Stopping unions from initiating bargaining for multi-employer collective agreements.
- Stopping workers in state schools from refusing to provide services to a charter school, if that instruction would otherwise be a lawfuland reasonable instruction.
- Allowing converted charter schools to maintain shared education services arrangements with state schools.
