The school to which the Deputy refers is not among the schools included in the report on the net impact, in terms of posts, of budget measures on DEIS Band 1 and Band 2 urban primary schools that still had additional posts allocated under disadvantage schemes predating DEIS, which was published on 21 February 2012, as the school is not a DEIS school.

Where a school is losing three or more posts as a result of the combination of budget and reform measures an application can be made to the Staffing Appeals Board with a view to seeking to have a portion of the loss in posts deferred to the 2013/14 school year on the basis that it is impacting in a particularly adverse manner on the school's overall allocation.
