The criteria used for the allocation of teachers to schools is published annually on the Department's website. 

The school to which the Deputy refers is an Education and Training Board (ETB) school.

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 scheme in question.
