The criteria used for the allocation of teachers to schools is published annually on the Department's website.
The schools to which the Deputy refers are Education and Training Board (ETB) schools.
The Department provides a staffing allocation to each ETB and the distribution of this staffing allocation including Small School posts is a matter for the Chief Executive of the ETB schemes in question.
