Dear Ministry of Education,

On 5 february the Minister of Education signed a cabinet paper on the appointment of Catherine Isaac as chair of the partnership schools authorisation board, in which it highlighted a conflict of interest with her chairing of the partnership schools working group and required her to resign that position. I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* on what date did Catherine Isaac leave her position as chair of the partnership schools working group?

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
