Board chairwoman Ernie Mather said two new board members and three from the former board were elected at the recent trustee elections, and the change of dynamics on the board may change its stance on National Standards.
"Personally, I feel the same way about National Standards.
"But the board is yet to discuss it as a board. The issue will be brought up for discussion at a meeting next week."
Macandrew Intermediate's board of trustees made a public stand against National Standards late last year, and ordered the school's principal, Whetu Cormick, not to open a box containing information about the standards.
The box remained unopened.
The school is believed to be one of eight in New Zealand which have refused to implement the standards, and the New Zealand School Trustees Association has warned the schools' boards of trustees could be sacked unless they comply.
However, NZSTA president Lorraine Kerr said boards were unlikely to be sacked and replaced by appointed commissioners until at least next year, when schools would be required to report to the Ministry of Education.
Northeast Valley Normal School Board of Trustees chairman Steve O'Connor said he was one of the six schools in Dunedin who were challenging the standards, and was supportive of Macandrew Intermediate's stance.
"Our board is against the standards, but we will still be implementing them - in our own time.
"What we're looking to do is continue reporting twice a year to parents, but we will put a disclaimer on the reports which will say the standards are untested and untried.
"We don't want parents to take them too seriously. We don't want them to be alarmed by the reports.
"If parents are concerned about their children's achievement, they should come and see their teacher."
Mr O'Connor said the fundamental job of a school was to improve pupil achievement, and he believed National Standards went against that philosophy.
"Our standards are higher than the National Standards. We don't want to lower our standards."
