Prime Minister Conte calls a conference with three ministers to support the disputed Lucia Azzolina (Education) and tell the country: “The school year will start regularly on September 14. The return will take place in complete safety.” However, there are seven regions that have advanced the start date. In Lazio, the school councilor told the directors: “You decide.” Conte excludes a new confinement and says: “We are sure that there will be infections in the school, but we are prepared to face them.” Only yesterday news of positivity reached the school in Trentino, Friuli, Emilia and Sardinia.

The ministry estimates that today there are 50,000 students without the possibility of respecting the distance meter, “but in June there were a million,” Azzolina said. They will still go to class with a mask on the desk. One in three schools, she assured, had at least one intervention: “5,177 more classrooms have been created and 4,812 have been expanded.”

Over the weekend, 60,000 alternates “who will not assume office” will be nominated and directors will make another 70,000 appointments. Conte is unbalanced: “There will be a total of 160,000 new teachers and 77,000 temporary employees between teachers and administrators.” But it does not indicate dates and does not mention the failures of rankings and calls. It states that 7 billion have been invested in the school, but without European funds there are 2.9: nine hundred million more than in 2019 (without Covid). For parents with quarantined children, smart work is possible. Here are all the rules.

THE MASK

Inside the school the mask is kept. In class, with a distance of one meter between classmates and two meters between students and teacher, it can be removed. The protection must be worn when traveling, entering and leaving, when going to the bathroom and dining room (it is removed when sitting at the table). Free face when food is consumed in the classroom (lunch box). The mask must be kept in all those cases in which the distance cannot be respected in the classes. The masks, Premier Conte said, will be given out free at school: the state will hand out 11 million every day. Several directors, reports the National Association, assure that the amounts received so far are insufficient.

IF A STUDENT IS POSITIVE

Fever measurement should be done every morning at home. If the child experiences symptoms comparable to those of someone who has contracted Covid – temperature higher than 37.5 degrees, cough, loss of smell and taste – the parents should keep it at home, notify the school and the pediatrician or family doctor . If the symptoms appear in the classroom, the institution will take care of the case in the first instance: the “Covid contact person” will accompany the child to the room dedicated to managing the case and notify the parents. The pediatrician will direct the student and parents to the swab. The epidemiological investigation begins with the positive student. Initially, according to ISS guidelines, the class and teachers are likely to be quarantined.

AT THE GYM AND AT FOOD

Minister Azzolina says that sports activity must be protected, but several rectors have decided to use the school gymnasium to recover classrooms of different teachings and other DS have canceled investments in the restoration of facilities for movement that are not accessible today. The Guidelines of the Ministry of Education maintain “the competence of local authorities in the concession of gymnasiums”. Where gymnastics will be done, off-campus staff will require deep disinfection. In the dining rooms, “adaptations will be necessary, but nobody wants to take away full time from the children.” Many institutions, it is a fact, will not be able to guarantee the service to all and others have difficulties to start the dining room.

Transportation

The guidelines on school bus transportation, agreed with Provinces and Municipalities and recalled by the Minister of Transport Paola De Micheli, say that vehicles should not travel more than 80 percent full and this only if the route is contained in 15 minutes. Students should wear a mask, even in winter, with the windows open as much as possible, even in winter. School buses will have position markers that indicate where you should not sit. People with symptoms of Covid are asked not to use the school bus, then children will have to get into the vehicle in an orderly manner, picking up the second only when the first is seated. Slow descent, one by one. You cannot ask the driver for information.

WORK AND GO SMART

Extraordinary leave for parents during the mandatory quarantine period of the minor under 14 years of age, if the minor has been infected or has come into contact with a positive in the school complex. The decree law just published in the Official Gazette provides this, “Provisions for the beginning of the school year.” It says: “A salaried parent can carry out work in an agile way during all or part of the period corresponding to the duration of the quarantine of the cohabiting child, under fourteen years old.” The ASL Prevention Department decides. If you can’t do smart work, half-pay leave is possible.
