The numbers to continue are not there: the “Francesco Saccà” kindergarten and primary school of San Michele will not reopen in September. Closes For lack of members the plexus of via Comunalea piece of community that disappears not due to the depopulation of the village but, rather, for the choices of the parents who decide to enroll their children in other schools instead of in the closer ones. The remaining pupils will be moved to the “Cesareo” and “Mauro” complexes of Badiazza, which depend on the same comprehensive institute Villa Lina-Citiro. Due to the drop in registrations, It was not possible to train classes to give continuity to the activity of the school that has educated and instructed generations of pupils.
“Every time a school closes – says Giandomenico La Fauci, vice president of the city council – a piece of community is lost. The neighborhood and village schools are fundamental educational principals, social aggregation centers, points of reference for families, spaces that maintain the identity of a territory alive. They are not just places of education. I respect the choices of the parents but it is right that everyone is aware of the consequences of their decisions that have determined this situation ». Fauci asks that a free transport service is prepared that connects the San Michele area with the “Cesareo” and “Mauro” complexes of Badiazza.
Composed of six teaching classrooms and a multimedia, canteen and courtyard, in completely renovated rooms in the past, the “Saccà” had managed to increase the inscriptions, then a new drastic drop. And now what will be the fate of the building? Will he be abandoned to himself?
