Kenny McNeill, representing ADES, has left the Board and has been replaced by Karen Haspolat (East Lothian Council). We thank Kenny for his active and constructive contributions to the Board.

Kaukab Stewart, MSP, has left the Board as a result of work pressures since becoming a Minister.  We thank Kaukab for her active and constructive contribution to the Board.

Greg Dempster, General Secretary of the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes Scotland (AHDS)  and Vice Chair of the SSERC Board, has left the BAOrd due to work pressures.  We thank Greg for his active and constructive contribution to the Board. We look forward to welcoming a new member of AHDS to the Board in due course.
