2023-12-07

459.7. If the Minister is of the opinion that a decision made by a school service centre is not consistent with the targets, objectives, policy directions and directives he has established in accordance with this Act, he shall inform the school service centre.

The school service centre has 15 days to give the Minister the reasons for its decision. Where applicable, it shall also inform him, within that period, of its intention to overturn, entirely or in part, that decision and of the decision it intends to make.

If the school service centre does not give reasons within the prescribed period or if the reasons given or the decision it intends to make are not to the Minister’s satisfaction, the Minister may then annul, entirely or in part, the school service centre’s decision and make the decision that, in his opinion, ought to have been made in the first instance.

This section applies, with the necessary modifications, where the Minister is of the opinion that a decision should be made to ensure that the school service centre complies with the targets, objectives, policy directions and directives he has established.
