How many additional special needs assistants are in the system for the school year September 2015 to June 2016? I know there were 610 posts, for which approval was obtained in July. The Department's explanation is that this builds on the increase of 365 additional SNA posts provided for in last year's budget. Does that mean it was the 2015 budget? Was the total number of additional SNAs starting this year 975?
