I don't feel I should. The AGM is in November and I feel it's only right to stay until then. It just feels wrong to leave early for no reason other than I'm sick of it.
My plan is that someone else will have come forward to do it before school ends in Juky and then I can work with them from September til the meeting in November, stepping back more and more until finally finishing in the November.
I haven't decided whether to stand down as a governor or not. I have 2.5 years left as my term as community governor. I'm happy to carry on with that as long as I don't get dragged in to do chair stuff. Community governor involves 4 evening meeting s a year (approx 3 hours per meeting plus trip to pub) and around 8 one hour meetings a year - plus any jobs I might be allocated. I'll probably stay to see his it goes but if I find it's still time consuming I'll stand down early.
