A Justice of Saint Paul denied, on the night of this Friday the 4th, a precautionary measure requesting the suspension of the reopening of schools in the state. The lawsuit was filed by entities linked to teachers, who argue that returning to school as of Tuesday 8, poses a risk to the health of students and teachers.

Public and private schools across the state have been closed since March to contain the spread of the coronavirus. In August, however, the state government endorsed municipalities for more than 28 days in the yellow phase of the state’s economic reopening plan to authorize the operation of schools as of September 8 for activities such as school reinforcement.
The Union of Official Education Teachers of the State of São Paulo (Apeoesp), the Centro do Professorado Paulista (CPP), the Union of Employees and Servants of Education (Afuse) and the Federation of Teachers of the State of São Paulo (Fepesp) they joined this week with a request for an injunction to immediately suspend the possibility of returning to face-to-face activities in public and private schools in the state.
The action also alleged that it was not possible to demand or encourage the assistance of education professionals, in public and private networks, for face-to-face activities. In this Friday’s decision, however, Judge Aline Aparecida de Miranda maintains that the government presented data on the structural adaptation of the buildings and that the “theoretical basis for the gradual resumption of activities seems well established.”
According to the judge, security measures have been taken that “significantly minimize the risks to health and life.” “The insufficiency of one or another norm to face health challenges, as well as non-compliance with what has already been established, must be fought in a concrete way,” the magistrate wrote.
Entities must request reconsideration at the São Paulo Court of Justice.
