To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) development proposals submitted by (a) primary; and (b) post-primary schools in East Londonderry that have not received a decision on their proposal; and (ii) the length of time each school has waited for a decision since their submission.

There is one primary school in the East Londonderry constituency awaiting a decision on a Development Proposal (DP) and no post primary schools.

DP 588 for the proposed closure of Ballyhackett Primary School was received on 3 September 2019. No decision has been made as the school has indicated it intends to bring forward a DP proposing its transformation to Controlled Integrated Status. The Department has agreed to await the submission of the Transformation proposal in order to make a fully informed decision on the future of this school.
