Cleave HayThe board of Queenstown-Lakes’ oldest school, Glenorchy School, has called in a limited statutory manager (LSM). Education consultant Cleave Hay, of Dunedin, was subsequently appointed. In a newsletter to parents last month, Mr Hay said he had been assigned all functions, powers and duties of the board as an employer, to establish policies and procedures and to manage communication. As to how serious the situation was at Glenorchy School, Mr Hay said ‘‘I wouldn’t deem it high-risk’’. Glenorchy School, which dates back to 1911, is the only school at the head of the lake.
