No sizing this year in the province of Messina: there will be no mergers of schools. «The Messina school network will not undergo any changes», announces Leon Zingales, Messina’s education director, on Facebook.
«Great day for the Messina School!», Zingales begins in the post, addressed to «managers, teachers, school staff, families and students from the entire province of Messina», with whom he wishes to share «news of extraordinary importance for our territory».
The institutional path
«This result – explains Zingales – comes at the conclusion of an intense institutional journey, started with the convening of the Territorial Conference by the Metropolitan Mayor Federico Basile and culminated in today’s regional conference for the organization of the school network called by the Regional Councilor for Education and Professional Training Mimmo Turano».
Thanks to schools, unions and mayors
The superintendent thanks the world of schools, the unions and the mayors: «I would like to underline that this achievement does not represent a personal victory, but is the brilliant and tangible consequence of the synergistic, choral and passionate effort of all the components of the school, the trade union organizations and all the mayors of our territory. Only through constant dialogue, mutual listening and the united defense of our educational communities have we managed to protect our educational institutions.”
«School is the beating heart of our Municipalities, an irreplaceable garrison of hope, culture and future for our young people – he concludes -. Heartfelt thanks to each of you for the commitment, dedication and extraordinary collaboration demonstrated in every institutional setting. Let us continue to walk together, united, for the good of our school and our children.”
