SCHEDULE 3 Delegation Orders Delegation on education authority's initiative 1. Where an education authority propose making a delegation order under section 15 of this Act, they shall provide a draft of the order to the School Board and seek the agreement of the Board to the terms of the proposed order, without which agreement the order may not be made. Amendment 14. An education authority may, with the consent of the School Board concerned, amend a delegation order by making a further order (which may include revocation of the delegation of a function, or of the whole delegation order). 15. Where an education authority has been unable to obtain the consent of the School Board to an order under paragraph 14 above, the authority may send a draft of the order to the Secretary of State who shall consider the views of the education authority and of the School Board, and - (a) may, if he is satisfied that continued delegation of any function would prejudice the good running of the school, consent to the revocation of the delegation of that function; (b) may, as he thinks fit, consent to an amendment which does not in his view amount to the revocation of the delegation of a function; and (c) in either case, may direct such alterations of the draft order as he thinks fit, and the authority, if they decide to proceed to make an order, shall do so in accordance with his directions.
