241. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will review the case being made by a school (details supplied) in County Kilkenny relative to the retention of the behaviour for learning programme teacher as this post is essential to the school; if he will expedite a response; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe National Behaviour Support Service (NBSS) promotes and supports positive behaviour through the provision of a systematic continuum of support to school communities. The service assists partner post primary schools in addressing behavioural concerns in schools. The Department has been informed by the NBSS that for the academic year 2013-2014, Castlecomer Community School is no longer considered to have the same high level of need as other schools working with the NBSS and the Behaviour for Learning Programme Teacher post will be withdrawn.
