In-service Training

Teachers of third and fourth classes or those who have not previously used the Follow Me programme are invited to an in-service day. This will be held subject to the usual conditions:

a) Prior approval being granted by the teacher’s board of management (NB the BOM will have to bear the cost of the provision of a substitute teacher for the day).

b) That boards of management would make every effort to make suitable arrangements for the teaching of the pupils of the absent teacher. Where it proves impossible to obtain an appropriate substitute, that appropriate notice would be given to parents of children who would be remaining home on that day.

c) That one-teacher schools would be allowed to close under Rule 60.
