39647 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: What does the Minister mean by "take into account" when mandating that the Authorisation Board "take into account" the "level of support from community, staff, students, and whānau for the proposed sponsor and new or converted charter school"?

Hon David Seymour: The Education and Training Amendment Bill includes a list of factors that the Authorisation Board must “take into account.” This means that they must take into account all of these factors, including the level of support, when making a decision.
