The Use of Reduced School days

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide clarity to school authorities and parents/guardians around the use of reduced school days in schools, to ensure that this practice is limited to only those circumstances where it is absolutely necessary and, that where such usage occurs, schools follow best practice with the interests of the student to the fore. The guidelines also set out the process for schools to notify the use of reduced school days to Tusla Education Support Service (TESS).
