SCOIL NUA/NEW SCHOOL UPDATE
DEA-SCÉAL! Scríobh an Roinn Oideachais chuig an mBord Bainistíochta le nuashonrú ar stádas reatha an fhoirgnimh scoile nua. Tá tionscadal na scoile san áireamh i gClár ADAPT 3 (Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning & Tendering  le roinnt scoileanna le bheith tógtha i mbeart ar fud na tíre) agus tá comórtas tairisceana chun Bainisteoir Tionscadail a cheapadh don chlár seo ar siúl faoi láthair. Táthar ag súil go gcuirfear an próiseas seo i gcrích go luath san athbhliain. Beidh an Bainisteoir Tionscadail, nuair a cheapfar é/í, freagrach as an bpróiseas a thionscnamh chun Foireann Dearaidh a cheapadh don Chlár ADAPT 3.
Great News! The Department of Education has written to the Board of Management with an update on the current status of the new school building. The project for the school is included in the Department’s ADAPT 3 Programme (Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning & Tendering – a number of schools to be built nationwide as a bundle) and a tender competition to appoint a Project Manager for this Programme is currently underway. It is expected that this process will be concluded early in the New Year. The Project Manager, when appointed, will be responsible for initiating the process for the appointment of a Design Team for the ADAPT 3 Programme.
