PQ 645
645. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will clarify whether the “above-SERC SNA” review process remains in operation under the new SNA allocation guidelines; if schools with autism classes will continue to be able to apply for above-SERC reviews throughout the school year in cases where a child’s needs cannot be met within the standard staffing allocation; and if she will confirm whether principals will be required to redeploy staff from their mainstream SNA allocation to meet above-SERC needs in special classes, given the already limited mainstream SNA ratios in many schools.
