This afternoon, the group’s board of directors sent a statement to the tutors informing them that the school would close on Monday, since that day it would have three fewer employees, who would serve the third and last day of isolation, as instructed by Health Line 24.
With this shortage of personnel, says the statement, there is a lack of “minimum security conditions that allow the normal functioning of teaching activities.”
In a ‘post’ subsequently published on the social network Facebook, the Câmara de Gondomar clarifies that it was not contacted during the decision to close the school, including the mayor, Marco Martins, and the councilor for Education, Aurora. Vieira, met with all the county cluster directors on Friday.
“The Municipality of Gondomar, having learned of the decision at the beginning of the night, immediately contacted the Regional Delegate of the General Directorate of School Establishments (DGEST) and the Director of the School Group, in order to guarantee its normal operation, within the safety regulations, thus responding to the needs of the families, ”the municipality’s note reads.
In this way, it is added, the “basic school 2/3 Marques Leitão will open tomorrow [segunda-feira] for all classes ”.
The municipality also affirms that it will maintain “direct contact with the regional delegate and the school group, as a result of the new information that may arise.”
