3.1 There is also a vacancy on the North Yorkshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE). A nomination to this vacancy will be provided at the meeting.
3.2 SACRE’s role is to advise the local authority on what needs to be done to support and improve religious education and collective worship for schools in North Yorkshire. SACRE membership is governed by the SACRE constitution, which states that it includes “five elected Members of the Council, as appointed by North Yorkshire Council”.[2]
4.0 APPOINTMENT TO VACANT COMMITTEES OUTSIDE BODIES
4.1 On 15 May 2024, Cllr Derek Bastiman stepped down from the Executive. As a result, he is no longer eligible to sit on the Shareholder Committee as it is a committee of the Executive, leaving one vacancy. Cllr Mark Crane was appointed to the vacancy on the Executive, and so it is proposed that Cllr Crane also be appointed to the resulting vacancy on the Shareholder Committee.
4.2 On 24 March 2024, Cllr George Jabbour resigned from SACRE. As a result, there is one vacancy which must now be filled.
