562 (2026). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Associate Minister of Education: Further to his answer to written question 58679 (2025): was the Ministry of Education aware of this?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) was not aware of this information. The Ministry is not involved in the early stages of a charter school application and would not usually be aware of meetings held between trusts/agencies. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 571 (2026).
