MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That the Chief Executive write to the Department of Education highlighting the lack of resources and funding in the Firhouse Educate Together National School. The school needs more resources, to include Special Education Teachers, Special Needs Assistants and Inclusion Support Assistants, as there are between 2 and 8 children with complex additional needs in every mainstream class, and the overall standard of literacy and maths is dropping for all children in the school. The Board of Management put a block on enrolling pupils into the school during the 2019-2020 school year pending additional resources

REPORT:

If the motion is passed by the members a letter will issue to the Department in this regard.
