Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2024
303. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Education if she will look favourably on the staffing appeal of a school (details supplied) for September 2024 due to the extenuating circumstances of the case. [10248/24]
View answerThe key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the previous 30 September.
The staffing arrangements include a provision whereby schools experiencing rapid increases in enrolment can apply for additional permanent mainstream posts, using projected enrolment.
The staffing process also contains an appeals mechanism for schools to submit a staffing appeal under certain criteria to an independent Primary Staffing Appeals Board.
Information and application forms are available in Circular 0011/2024 on the Department website.
