Education Minister Erica Stanford has said David Seymour overstepped the mark in his role as associate with his crackdown on teacher-only days last year. 

The Minister said Seymour did not run the announcement past her before making it.

Seymour disputes the overstep. 

"We've got a set of rules which are very clear, and we work very well together, but of course there's always people who try and beat these things up," he said.
