Funding has been approved to provide a two-classroom ASD unit at the school to which the Deputy refers. The project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority. The project is in the design stages. My Department's Professional and Technical staff visited the school recently and are assisting the school with design options.
Funding is committed to the project. The first tranche of devolved project funding (70%) is drawn down by a school authority when a project goes on site. The final tranche (30%) is drawn down when a project is satisfactorily completed.
