Meath schools to benefit from funding boost - Wallace

23rd November 2009

Over 100 primary schools in Meath are to benefit from grant payments over the coming days to carry out small-scale structural and mechanical works confirms Mary Wallace TD.

‘The annual grant for all primary schools will allow schools to carry out minor works on school buildings without needing to deal directly with the Department of Education.

‘The schools rates payable are €5,500 per school plus €18.50 per mainstream pupil and €74 per special needs pupil. So, for example, a 50-pupil school will get €6,425 and a 300-pupil school will receive over €11,000’. 

   
Deputy Wallace stated “I very much welcome this funding which can be used to assist schools to enhance the school infrastructure or for purchases of furniture and equipment for the school including technology-related equipment. I am particularly pleased that  60 of the primary schools to benefit from this funding are in the Meath East Area”.
