Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2012
272 Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position of schools regarding developing schools status with regard to GCEB posts; if they will get an increase in these posts in line with an increase in their enrolment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11595/12]
View answerA developing school post is defined as a school where the enrolment on 30 September, 2012 is projected to exceed the enrolment on 30 September 2011. The criteria for developing school posts for 2012/13 school year is set out in circular 0007/2012. The number of posts retained by a DEIS school following the Government's decision to retain posts in Band 1 and 2 DEIS schools from previous disadvantage schemes will be taken into account when considering such a school's application for a developing school post for 2012/13.
