This is information that France Bleu Nord reveals to you on Monday evening: two private Catholic high schools in the Lille metropolitan area will not open their doors this Tuesday, September 8. Due to too many cases or suspicions of coronavirus, management decided to send high school students home.
First in this private institution very well known in the Lille metropolis: the college of Marcq is faced with about twenty cases of coronavirus. The establishment, Marcq Institution, welcomes 3000 students, from kindergarten to high school, and it is the high school part that is mainly affected. Which leads the management to take a radical decision: no longer welcome high school students, from this Tuesday, September 8. A little more than 900 students would be affected.
Hard situation
In a communication to parents of students, the management speaks of “hard situation“, and explains having exchanged with the Regional Health Agency.”It seems necessary to put all high school students in school eviction“, writes the head of the establishment, who specifies that educational continuity will be organized”as quickly as possible“.
The Lycée la Salle de Lille also concerned
Same causes, same effects at La Salle high school in Lille, where high school students will not be able to return this Tuesday. Without giving any figures, the management explains in a letter to the parents of the students that the high school and the campus are “victims of the consequences of inappropriate behavior outside their premises“. Depending on test results, classes may be reopened. “This is very hard news to take“writes the director.
