Staffing Schedule - September 2009 & Panel Arrangements
DES Circular 0002/2009 containing the detailed staffing schedule for next September is now available on line - see link below. In addition there is also a copy of a letter which your school will receive about the operating arrangements for the redeployment panel. Given that many schools will have queries regarding their own specific circumstances, IPPN has asked the DES to provide a facility to respond to Principals' questions. If you have a question about the implications of this circular for your school, please email your query to the the following address; primaryallocations@education.gov.ie

E-scéal 191 - IPPN Position Papers, Submissions and Policies
- Published: 15 January 2009
I would like to draw your attention to a number of IPPN Position Papers, Policies and Submissions which have been formulated as a result of consultation with IPPN members through surveys, County Network Meetings and communication with the IPPN Support Office. The publication of these professional guidance resources has been a useful tool in shaping school policies, setting the agenda for Board of Management meetings and responding to parents' queries.
