The three autism classes in Educate Together National School in Wicklow have been closed since March due to weather damage, with the students receiving support in the PE hall, and corridors. The Dept of Ed has rejected their application for funds for repair, and subsequent appeals. #edchatie #ge24

Dear Candidate,
I am writing to you to highlight the current situation at Wicklow Educate Together National School.
In March 2024, adverse weather conditions resulted in extensive damage to the roof over our three Autism classrooms rendering this whole area unsafe and therefore it must remain closed due to Health & Safety risks associated with water ingress and mechanical and electrical fixtures and fittings.
As a very temporary measure, the school has been using pop up areas, room dividers in corridor spaces, storage rooms, comms rooms, stair wells, common areas, bathroom spaces and some support rooms to try and accommodate the additional needs students from the closed part of the building.
In June 2024, following a long tender process, an engineer’s report was submitted to the Department of Education as part of the Emergency Works application showing that the entire roof needs to be replaced.
In mid-September 2024, we found out that our application had been rejected on the basis of the age of the building – our building was constructed in 2016. We were advised to go back to the original contractor who the Department of Education is aware went into liquidation in 2018.
We lodged an appeal which was unsuccessful, and we were given the same suggestion to go back to the contractor.
Meanwhile, the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Education are aware that this situation could result, ultimately, in the closure of our ASD classes.
We are urgently seeking your assistance in this matter and are available to discuss with you further at your convenience. As a school, we are doing everything we can to try and keep these classes open but the situation is becoming increasingly untenable.
Yours sincerely,
Board of Management, Wicklow Educate Together

It feels strange starting out all over again on a new social media platform but I’m hoping that this one is like the Twitter of old. I miss the random interactions with people
