The return of face-to-face activities in private schools, which was authorized by the state government as of next 5, was blocked by the Justice.

Restrictions for face-to-face operation, imposed since March due to Covid-19, had been lifted just five days ago.

COVID-19. And, even if the initial steps are taken, there is no information on the conduct inspection.
“This ruling understands that it is necessary to return to school activities, but that it has not been proven, so far, that all the measures taken have had the participation of the different classes involved: teachers, student representatives, other school workers. It does not provide sufficient legal security so that in five days everyone is returning without proof that all the measures have indeed been taken and that, over time, they will continue to be complied with, including establishing a supervisory council for these measures, ”the magistrate highlights. , in an extract of the decision.
Alzenir Bollesi also observes that in many commercial establishments, after they were allowed to return, there is no longer an offer of alcohol gel, nor a limitation to the number of people in the place.
In the decision, the judge points out that the educational activity is characterized by the people gathered and, although the government protocol determines the limit of students per classroom – up to 10 in early childhood education, distance and control in the flow of entry, exit and breaks, she asks, “who will supervise?”
It was concluded, therefore, that the return to face-to-face classes, without accreditation of meetings, awareness-raising services and even teacher training, carried out long before returning to activities, will have consequences not only for those involved but for the whole of society ”, holds.
The magistrate also argues that, “for now, it should be noted that there is no harm to private school students, if the return occurs after proving that all the measures have been duly agreed, adjusted, adequate, implemented and supervised. Therefore, the model of videoconferencing classes will continue, until all the measures are effectively fulfilled, according to the decree and this guardianship decision. “
Finally, Alzenir Bollesi warns that, in order to preserve the most precious asset that is life, avoiding further contamination and consequences derived from Covid-19, he decided to suspend face-to-face classes in basic education – infant, primary and secondary. medium – of the private network in the entire coverage area of the Espírito Santo Teachers Union (Sinpro), the entity that filed the lawsuit.
