257. Deputy Mary Butler asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will allocate the appropriate staffing levels to a DEIS band 1 school (details supplied) which was recently upgraded from DEIS band 2 school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12956/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers is one of thirty such schools which were identified under the new assessment methodology as having a sufficient level of disadvantage to raise it from Urban Band 2 to Band 1 status under the DEIS Plan 2017.
The staffing schedule for the 2017/2018 school year for all primary schools, which includes details in relation to the allocations under DEIS, was recently published and can be found on my Department's website at the following link:
