The school to which the Deputy refers was granted funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide two Mainstream classrooms with en-suite toilets. The school authority subsequently sought Department approval to build two further SET rooms with this project, which the school agreed to fund.
The Department recently received a request for additional funding to cover project variations, as reported by the project architect. School authorities previously agreed a set amount for these works, which has already been fund-raised. Taking this into account, the Department agreed to fund all remaining costs and the school has been advised accordingly.
