28878 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education
Written Question
Published date: 13 Jul 2026
28878 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: Further to her reply to Question 19983 (2026), what is the file name for each of the Ministry email lists that are automatically distributed to her Education Private Secretaries and how many email addresses are contained in each list?
Hon Erica Stanford: The file name for the Ministry of Education email list automatically distributed every week to Education Private Secretaries is “Emergency Contacts - National Report.” Please note that the file title is not indicative of a sole purpose of the information and is simply the title of the list held by the Ministry. This email list is also used for day-to-day purposes of contacting schools, such as if the Ministry needed to contact a school for any reason.
The list contains approximately 11,500 unique email address of principals, board chairs, and emergency contracts. My office predominantly sends sector emails to only the principals, and on occasion, also to board chairs.
