  Education and Inspections Bill - New Clause "16" - Ballot of parents to change from community school to foundation school
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>This voting No rejected a <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2006-05-23a.1415.0">new clause</a> for the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/181/06181.i-vii.html">Education and Inspections Bill</a>.  The new clause would have stated:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  A proposal [to]... change [a]... community school to [a] foundation school may be implemented only if [it]... has been approved by a ballot of parents of pupils attending the school...
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This was probably in response to the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/181/06181.8-14.html#j205f"> Clause 20</a> which makes it the right of the governing body of the school to determin the whether to make a proposal to convert a community school into a foundation school.</p>
  
  <p>The definition of what it means to be a "foundation school" appears to be given in <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/181/06181.20-24.html#j038"> Part 3</a> of the Bill.</p>
