The New School Advisory Committee (NSAC) has received formal notification of intention to apply for recognition of the establishment of a Multi-Denominational primary school in Athlone in September 2008 under the patronage of Educate Together.
The New Schools Advisory Committee (NSAC) is an independent advisory group and was established to process applications for the recognition of new primary schools and to make recommendations to me. It is my role as Minister to consider the report and recommendations by the NSAC at the end of their deliberative process and to make a decision on the recommendations made. I would expect that NSAC will produce its report early in 2008.
