Can a HSCL Coordinator be appointed in a non-DEIS school?

No. HSCL Coordinator posts are full-time posts allocated to DEIS (urban primary and post primary) schools. Some HSCL posts are allocated on a shared basis between DEIS schools (in cluster groups) and can be shared across two sectors: primary and post primary level. The Department of Education and Skills (DES) assigns HSCL allocations to schools.
