PESCARA – “I forwarded it to the Education Councilor Roberto Santangelo an official request for revision of the school sizing plan approved by resolution of the Regional Council last 3 January and which in Pescara would determine the merging of the school managements of comprehensive schools 1 and 7. A plan which is evidently not good, not acceptable, because it would have a significant impact on two peripheral areas in which it is necessary to preserve and protect not only a single school complex, but the very presence of a fixed and stable management, because in those difficult suburbs the school, with all its human resources, represents a safeguard of legality and welcome, an indispensable sentinel. I am sure that I understand Councilor Santangelo’s sensitivity on this point and that I will be able to achieve the objective.”
The President of the Council of the Abruzzo Region said this Lorenzo Sighs making the note official to the regional councilor Santangelo. “We said it from day one, the day after its approval, that that Plan didn’t work, it wasn’t correct because it fundamentally doesn’t take into account the territorial realities on which it is going to act in an invasive manner – underlined Sospiri -. Especially in the suburbs the school is still a lifeline for children, for young people, it is an untouchable safeguard of legality and supervision, it is the place where our children or grandchildren not only carry out their educational training, but it is also the privileged space in which everyone can carry out their human and social education, cultivating healthy relationships and solid relationships with the surrounding society, learning to discern good from evil. To carry out such an ambitious project, it is not enough to have a classroom and a digital blackboard or a desk, but you need trained teachers, trained staff and you need a present, fixed, stable management, capable of giving a face, a name and a voice to that role of sentinel of the territory. In other words, the complexes of the Comprehensive Institute 1, which run between via Einaudi-San Donato district, between via Rio Sparto and via Pietro Nenni, via Sacco, via Salara Vecchia and via delle Casette, as well as the complexes of the Institute Comprehensive 7, between via Rubicone, via Virgilio, via Colle Pineta, cannot be entrusted to ‘remote’ management, but they all need present, stable and recognizable management”.
“I represented this need to councilor Santangelo – continued President Sospiri – asking him to evaluate the possibility of a timely revision of the school sizing plan, also through an exchange with the Regional School Office, in order to revoke that provision merger and I am confident in the administrative and training sensitivity of the councilor aimed at achieving the best possible result”.
