What does a South African School Governing Body do ?
WHAT DOES AN SGB DO?
A SGB must ensure that the school is governed in the best interest of all the stakeholders. All SGB members must always put the best interest of the school before any personal interests. Parents must form the majority of members on the school governing body. The South African Schools Act states that the number of parents in any school governing body must be at least half plus one of the total combined number of members with voting rights.
