The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the previous 30 September.
The staffing process contains an appeals mechanism for schools to submit a staffing appeal under certain criteria to an independent Primary Staffing Appeals Board.
The school referred to by the Deputy will retain one teaching post on appeal for the 2024/25 school year. The school has been informed of this decision.
The Appeals Board operates independently of the Department and its decision is final.
