The information requested by the Deputy for the 2012/13 school year to date is outlined in the attached document.
The precise capitation to be paid to the College in the 2013/14 school year will be a function later this year of the actual enrolment in the College and any decisions the Government may take in respect of the next budget.Budget 2012 provided for a further reduction in capitation and related grants of 1% in 2014.On that basis, an indicative estimate based on current rates, of the capitation to be paid to the college in 2013/14 is €409,000.
The salary cost for teachers in any school is a function of the number of teachers permanent or part time, the particular point on the salary scale of each teacher, any individual allowances payable to the teachers.Substitution costs that arise over the course of the year also contribute to the overall pay costs.
My officials will provide the Deputy with the projected salary costs for the school in question for the school year 2013/14 when they are in a position to compute same in the early Autumn ,based on returns that will be received from the school when the new school year commences.
