The spokeswoman warns the City that "maintaining and adjusting the classrooms should not be limited to painting walls or changing tiles, but also to take responsibility for the best environmental conditions"

The Municipal Socialist Group will present another motion in the next plenary to claim the City Council signing an agreement with the Ministry of Education, both governed by the PP, in order to ensure that air conditioning is fully operational in all public schools in the city. Municipality in the shortest possible time.

The spokeswoman of the Municipal Socialist Group, Susana Hernandez, says that "it is unthinkable to work or study in the hot months in our municipality without air conditioning and this is not a new fact, it is a cyclical problem that we face year after year and each Is worse, so we must tackle it quickly and intelligently to avoid unnecessary risks between staff and students in schools.

Hernández, who has worked in the last few years on the petition for shade in the schools and who, at the March plenary, once again demanded the conditioning of all educational centers, supported by public funds, with the necessary means to ensure optimum temperatures. That the lack of a suitable ambient temperature in schools "supposes an unsustainable and irresponsible situation on the part of the PP, that affects the performance of the school collective, reason why the Counseling, that has all the educative competences, must take letters in the subject With the greatest urgency, starting the house on the roof, first designing a map of temperatures and then checking the energy power of each center, sometimes obsolete, that prevents to feed a cooling system.

"It is paradoxical that the labor centers of the municipality have air conditioning on during the whole day from May, and that we are forgetting a population as sensitive as children, who may suffer thermal stress, which is also a breach Of the regulations on minimum safety and health requirements in workplaces that need to be remedied as soon as possible, "said the councilor, who this morning accompanied the parents of the students of the Virgen de Guadalupe College, who demanded air conditioning.

Likewise, Susana Hernández recalls that the Ministry should take into account efficient design when building new schools, because this would also avoid significant energy savings.

And warns the City Council that "their obligation to maintain and adapt schools should not be limited to painting walls or changing tiles, but also to assume responsibility for the school group to carry out their day in the best conditions."

For all these reasons, he insists that "in the face of this problem of high temperatures in schools, the PP is no longer enough to give the silent response or act by inertia, must make decisive and unforeseeable decisions."
