304. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a 2016 circular (details supplied) has been updated; if this document has been withdrawn; if so, the reason therefor; if a subsequent circular has been issued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36290/18]
View answerThe Information note referred to by the Deputy is still available on my Department’s website at http://www.education.ie/en/Schools-Colleges/Services/Grants-and-Additional-Support/New-ASD-Classes-Staffing-Supports-and-Grants-Information.pdf and is currently being updated with information for 2018/19 school year.
The National Council for Special Education has also published Guidelines for Boards of Management and Principals of Primary and Post Primary schools which contain information on setting up and organising special classes, including information on resources which may be provided to schools to establish special classes and are available to download from www.ncse.ie.
