61 Decision by Minister on application

(1) The Minister may: (a) make a determination varying the list of non‑government schools to take account of the proposal; or (b) refuse the application. The Minister’s power under paragraph (a) is subject to the requirements in sections 62 and 63.

Note: Section 64 requires the Minister to also vary the list to include a funding level of a school that is covered by a new school proposal.

(2) If the variation is to take account of a new school proposal under which the school concerned is not included in an approved school system, the Minister must determine the body that is to be the approved authority of the school.

Note: Section 65 requires the Minister to give notice of the determination to the approved authority.
