CORFU. Intense rainfall that hit Corfu from Wednesday night has caused a severe deterioration of the situation at the 14th Primary School and the Experimental Kindergarten on Thursday morning.
Schoolyard Flooded Again – New Appeal from Parents to Central Municipality and Civil Protection
On Thursday morning, the Parents’ and Guardians’ Association of the schools took action again, sending a new request to the competent services of the Central Corfu Municipality and Civil Protection, asking for immediate intervention to address the problems created by the bad weather.
The Impact of Heavy Rains on Corfu Schools
The persistent heavy rains have led to the schoolyard being completely flooded, a recurring issue that has prompted repeated calls for assistance from the parents. The situation has raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of the students and staff, as well as the structural integrity of the school buildings.
According to the Parents’ and Guardians’ Association, this is not an isolated incident. The schools have faced similar issues in the past due to inadequate drainage systems and lack of proper maintenance. The repeated flooding disrupts classes and poses health risks due to stagnant water.
Parents Demand Immediate Intervention
The Association’s latest appeal emphasizes the urgency of the matter, urging the Central Corfu Municipality and Civil Protection to prioritize the resolution of these long-standing problems. They are seeking concrete measures, such as improvements to the drainage infrastructure and regular inspections, to prevent future occurrences.
A representative from the Parents’ Association stated, “We cannot continue to send our children to a school where their safety is compromised every time it rains heavily. We need permanent solutions, not temporary fixes.”
Local Authorities Under Pressure to Act
The Central Corfu Municipality and Civil Protection are now under increased pressure to respond to the parents’ demands. The repeated flooding incidents highlight a broader issue of infrastructure deficiencies in the region, particularly concerning public buildings and educational facilities.
Local residents and parents are awaiting a prompt and effective response from the authorities to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for the children. The community hopes that this latest appeal will finally lead to the necessary interventions to safeguard the schools from the adverse effects of heavy rainfall.
