Schools in Rome, from Giovanni Falcone to Maffi 15 institutions forced to postpone opening: 13 thousand students at home

The last circulars arrived between Friday and Saturday, causing the anger of hundreds of parents forced to wait another ten days to be able to send their children to school. For many institutions ready to reopen tomorrow there are others that have decided, at the will of the directors, to postpone the restart. Admissions and lessons were moved after the Referendum and only in some cases from September 16 or 17. In total, there are fifteen comprehensive institutions that will still have tomorrow doors closed for more than 13,000 students – from kindergartens to middle schools – forced to stay home and then extend teaching in June so as not to damage the teaching plan that is divided into more than 200 school days. But what are the reasons that so far have led fifteen school leaders to postpone their departure? They range from light works that began to recover spaces and environments and thus allow a greater presence in the classroom, to the delays of teachers in serological tests.

THE SITUATIONS
At the Pietro Maffi Integral Institute, the rector’s circular announcing the inauguration on September 24 reads as follows: “There are no technical-hygienic-sanitary conditions necessary to use the school premises in compliance with current regulations.” In particular, «I adaptation and improvement works in the complexes Maglione and Don Morosini, the Maffi complex, object of energy efficiency works, was delivered today (September 9, ed.) And the cleaning and sanitation of the premises requires adequate time, connected to the size of the complexes ”. In this institute then the restoration of the classrooms, the arrangement of the furniture and the placement of the signs for the spacing of the stations “They do not seem compatible to allow the start of the lessons for September 14”. Once again: at the Via Ceneda Institute, which will also open on September 24, on Friday the communication of the postponement was sent to the families. Among the main reasons, delays in test serological, not carried out or carried out late by the teachers and the absence of single-seat desks. Even the Chiodi Dionigio Romeo Integral Institute in via Appiano 15 has postponed the resumption of teaching until September 23 “to reorganize the spaces according to the provisions of the latest legislation on security and to incorporate staff.”

THE EXPANSION
Even the Instituto del Mar Caribe (X Municipality) will delay the opening, even if it is only one day, because the department of Simu del Campidoglio, which had to make the dividing walls in the gyms, did not find the materials on time and therefore the works will continue. 24 hours. Among the institutes that have postponed the opening until September 24, also the Ic Rosetta Rossi, the Ic Paolo Stefanelli, the Ic Largo Oriani, the Ic Crivelli. These and others are burdened by the lack of completion of the light construction works to recover as many environments as possible for the students. From the Regional Office of the School, the director Rocco Pinneri points out a fact: “In construction we pay a delay of thirty years both in the construction of new schools and in maintenance interventions ”. But the absence of teachers is also a factor, so much so that nearly 5,000 substitute contracts have already been planned for the year in hand. “As is well known, one of the chronically unsolved problems – says Laila Perciballi, president of the Roma Capitale Consumer Movement – that prevents schools from restarting is the difficulty in covering the so-called empty chairs.” Uncovered locations that in times of pandemic make restarting even more difficult.
