Under the terms of the School Transport Scheme for Children with Special Needs a child is eligible for transport if s/he is attending the nearest recognised: mainstream school, special class/special school or a unit, that is or can be resourced, to meet the child's special educational needs under Department of Education and Science criteria. The pupil referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied is not eligible for transport to the school in question as this school is not the nearest recognised special school or unit, that is or can be resourced, to meet the child's special educational needs under my Department's criteria.
