Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
281. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the income threshold for the supplementary teaching panel will be brought in line with the school academic year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21114/16]
View answerThe core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers to other schools that have vacancies.
Thereafter, schools are required under the panel arrangements to fill permanent vacancies from supplementary panels comprising eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers.
The supplementary panel application process for eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers for the 2016/17 school year is set out in Circular 0058/2015.
Arrangements for the Supplementary Panel will be reviewed with the relevant education stakeholders later this year to determine what adjustment, if any, is required for the 2017/18 school year.
