Agreement between the Region and Anci Sicilia to encourage the timely delivery of the good books intended for first and second grade high school students. Pending the completion of the administrative and accounting procedures, linked to the approval of the report of the Region, the Municipalities, as required by the ANCI, will be able to anticipate the sums to the low -income families who have already requested it and who have the right, so as to ensure a start of the school year without inconvenience.
“The offices – underlines the regional councilor for education, Mimmo Turano – are completing the necessary checks to transfer the resources as soon as possible to local authorities, around 18 million euros. To meet the needs of families, the Schifani government has launched a synergistic and productive confrontation with the Anci in such a way that the municipalities can provide, immediately, the contributions to those who have the right, pending the improvement of the transfers “.
“The mayors – adds the president of ANCI Sicilia, Paolo Amenta – are at the forefront in the territories and know well and closely the specificities and needs of their fellow citizens. In view of the return to the class of our students, scheduled for September 15, we believe a choice of common sense to meet the needs of Sicilian families. In more of the administrative obligations by the Region, we ask the mayors to provide, where the financial conditions, resources to families who need it are recalled. For our part there is the utmost commitment to support families, in particular the less well -off ones, and guarantee a peaceful start of the school year “.
