Schools may lose Deis funds in reforms

Allocation of Government funds could see Deis funding dropped

Some schools may lose extra staff or funding they have had for the past decade under Government reforms of how supports for disadvantage are allocated.

While around 80 schools will be added to the School Support Programme (SSP) under the new Deis (Delivering Equality of opportunity In Schools) plan, some of the 826 schools included could be dropped.
