The core purpose of the redeployment arrangements is to redeploy a teacher who is surplus in one school to a vacancy in another school. The redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers is key to the Department's ability to manage within its payroll budget and ceiling on teacher numbers.
Teacher allocations to all second level schools are approved annually by my Department in accordance with established rules based on recognised pupil enrolment. Schools are permitted to fill vacancies that arise within their approved staffing schedule. A school may contact my Department's Teacher Allocation Section if it needs to clarify the position in relation to filling a vacancy.
