Limitations on employment

(1) The Board of a school may not employ a permanently appointed regular teacher whose employment generates a number of FTTEs greater than its entitlement staffing and any tuakana-teina allowance.
(2) The Board of a school may not employ other regular teachers whose employment generates a number of FTTEs greater than the number of FTTEs by which the school's total regular 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.
(3) The Board of a school may not make a permanent appointment of a regular teacher without the consent of the Secretary if the school's formula-generated staffing allowance based on its provisional rolls exceeds its formula-generated staffing allowance 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 continue 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 employ more permanently appointed regular teachers than is permitted under subclause (1), and may employ more other regular teachers than is permitted under subclause (2), if,—
(a) at some other time during the 2006 school year, the Board has employed, or will employ, fewer regular teachers than the prescribed number; and
(b) 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
(c) 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.
31 Suspension of clause 29(5) if 10% limit exceeded
-
(1) 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.

(2) The number calculated for the school referred to in subclause (1) is calculated by—
-
(a) adding, to get the first result,—
(i) its entitlement staffing; and
(ii) any resource teacher: Maori exemption granted by the Secretary under clause 37(1)(c); and
(b) subtracting 1 from the first result to get the second result; and
(c) multiplying the second result by 0.72 to get the third result; and
(d) subtracting 0.77 from the third result to get the fourth result; and
(e) if the fourth result is not a whole number, correcting it to the nearest whole number.
-
35 Adjustment to calculation of limitation on employment involving salary units
-
(1) 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 allowance; and
(b) multiplying the resulting sum by 0.72; and

Explanatory note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This order, which comes into force on 15 September 2005, prescribes limitations on the numbers of regular (ie, non-relieving) 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 substantive changes are as follows:
•the total regular staffing allowance provisions in clause 27 reflect the introduction of 2 new allowances, the
“classroom release 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“supplementary 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 Maori-medium student in clause 4 is no longer restricted to students who are Maori.
