Commentary on provisions of Act Section 3: Other warning notices
Section 3 amends section 60A of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, which makes provision for teachers' pay and conditions warning notices.
	Section 3 sets out amended conditions to be satisfied for a maintained school to be eligible for intervention under section 60A. It removes the 15 day period within which the governing body must comply with a warning notice and instead allows the local authority to specify a period for compliance.
	Section 3(2)(d) inserts into section 60A(6) a requirement on the local authority to give a copy of a teachers’ pay and conditions warning notice to the Secretary of State at the same time as they give the warning notice to the governing body.
	Section 3(2)(e) removes the entitlement and procedure by which the governing body may make representations to the local authority. As a consequence of the removal of the representations procedure, by sections 3(3) and 3(4) the start of the time limits for exercising the power to appoint additional governors (under s 64 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006) and the power to suspend the right to a delegated budget (under s 66 of that Act) respectively is determined by reference to the compliance period specified in the warning notice.
	Section 3(3) and (4) replace references in sections 64 and 66 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 to the 15 day compliance period with references to the new period of compliance at s.60(1)(b) of the Education and Inspections Act as amended by this act.
