SCHOOLS in East Lancashire are crying out for new governors to join them in 2002.
The Government's School Governors' One-Stop Shop is looking for people who want to get involved in local education.
It particularly wants to hear from people with skills and experience to offer from the world of work.
Jo Buchanan, of the One-Stop Shop, said: "Governors take an overall view of, and make important collective decisions on, the direction of a school.
"An effective governing body allows the headteacher and staff to concentrate on providing the highest possible quality of education."
If you are interested you can contact the School Governors' One-Stop Shop for more information and an application form at 64 Essex Road, Islington N1 8LR, or e-mail info@schoolgovernors-oss.co.uk.
