Board of Trustees
Chairman of the Board .

Dear Sir,

The response to my request for information regarding both Middle Management allowances and Management units at Whanganui High School for 2016/2017 has been delayed. By law, the authority, that is the Board of Trustees, should normally have responded promptly and by February 15, 2017.

I understand that the first meeting of the Board of Trustees will occur on the 20th of February 2017 An acknowledgement of this request being received in January would have helped with the process in receiving this information.

Yours faithfully,

Graham Hall
Branch Chair
