"(3) Subsection (2) does not apply (if it would otherwise have applied)-
(a)in respect of any school year if a ballot has been held in accordance with section 28 of this Act in the school year which precedes it; and

William Hague
Secretary of State for Wales
16th January 1996
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Education (Grant-maintained Special Schools) Regulations 1994 apply to section 24 of the Education Act 1993 (annual consideration of grant-maintained status) to grant-maintained special schools in England. The present Regulations amend regulation 4 so that it will now extend to grant-maintained special schools in Wales. The governing body will not, however, be required to consider in the 1995-1996 school year the question of whether the school should become a grant-maintained special school if they have already considered that question before these Regulations came into force.
1993 c. 35; for matters to be prescribed and the definition of "regulations" see section 305(1).
