staff member, or appointed member, of a school council if the person has been
convicted of an indictable offence, unless the Minister gives an approval
under this section.

having regard to the circumstances of the indictable offence of which a person
has been convicted, the Minister may— (a) if the person was a member when
convicted—give notice to the council’s chairperson and the person that the
person is restored as a member, and may be later re-elected or reappointed,
despite the conviction; or
(b) otherwise—give written approval for the
person to be elected or appointed as a council member despite the conviction.
(3) On the day the council’s chairperson receives a notice under subsection
(2) (a) — (a) the person is restored as a council member; and
(b) if
another person has been elected or appointed to fill the vacancy—the other
person’s appointment ends.
(4) If a person is restored as a council member
under subsection (3) , the person’s term of office as a council member ends
when it would have ended if the person had not been convicted of the offence.
