Dear J Turner

On behalf of Hon Chris Hipkins, Minister of Education, thank you for your email of 25 October 2021 requesting the following information:

I am writing to ask for information on who from the education sector was consulted on as part of the decision to allow students from years 11- 13 to return to Auckland schools prior to widespread vaccination.
I am particularly interested in how teachers were consulted, as well as principals.
May I also have the name of the Health Experts who recommended this move.

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).

A decision has been made to grant your request. A letter detailing our response will be with you shortly.

Kind regards,
Ashleigh
