The Ministry of Education has named new Director of the Luís Seoane de Mera School after the forced resignation of the former, María José Ruíz. It is the new chapter in the case of the boy forgotten for a whole morning on the school bus. The Department has appointed one of the teachers who, when consulted, showed her disagreement with assuming the position, according to sources in the educational community, although she has finally been left with no other option but to accept.
The A Coruña Staff Board, the highest representative body of the teaching staff of public education in the province, unanimously requests the dismissal of the Territorial Head of Education, Indalecio Cabana. It also asks for the opening of an investigation into the performance of the inspector of the center with respect to the resignation – forced – of the director.
CIG-Education, the majority union in the public, qualifies the behavior of the Territorial Chief as “unpresentable and caciquil”. He understands that with the forced resignation of the director, what is intended is to divert attention from the responsibilities that correspond to the administration, as it is the one who hires the transport companies. “Or behavior of a public office cannot be or that this man fixed, a caciquil behavior that he leaves in my place, to him and the people who are above him,” said the national secretary of CIG, Suso Bermello.
The Department has not responded to Indalecio Cabana’s request for dismissal. The new director has to appoint a team, with the corresponding readjustment of schedules. All this in the midst of an atmosphere of discouragement, disappointment with the attitude of the educational administration and solidarity with María José Ruíz.
