The board is the employer and has the power to appoint, suspend or dismiss staff as it sees fit.
When making any decision about a teacher (e.g. appointing, suspending, or dismissing), the board has the responsibility to act independently, i.e. without bias or external influence.

NZSTA also offers schools resources for managing recruitment.
