Tuesday, September 7, the bad news fell and the parents of the students immediately mobilized, supported by the mayors of the historic municipalities and the entire population, by partially blocking the RN 88 at the roundabout of Recoules-Prévinquières.
“The municipality is very shocked by the approach of the National Education. We learned this morning that there was a half-suppression of post in Recoules to create a half-post at Lapanouse. We find it really regrettable not to looking after the interests of the children and the interests of the teachers. We were even offered to transfer the children to CM at Lapanouse in Sévérac-le-Château, it’s completely delusional! “, said Edmond Gros, the mayor of Sévérac-d’Aveyron.
“Dark bargaining”
Before continuing: “In the first hypothesis, we end up with 21 schoolchildren in the canteen who will be crowded like everything while with the Covid-19, we are asked to respect the distance. We do not understand anything at all. We have already opened school for a week and we are waiting until the last moment to tell us such things! “
In turn, Damien Laurain, deputy mayor of Lapanouse, outbid: “I join the feelings of the parents of students who find the attitude frankly scandalous. We are close to a dark bargaining where it was absolutely necessary to lose a position in the town of Sévérac-d’Aveyron. We were well explained that ‘we counted the staff and the posts on Sévérac-d’Aveyron since it is a news commune by telling us that we were roughly privileged and by giving us a figure of 20.2 children per teacher. geography, logistics and even less people. I also put myself in the place of the parents of Recoules who did not think they were in this loop at all since there was no difficulty for them, there was no ‘There was no hypothesis of suppression neither in June nor in September and, once again, the National Education, under the pretext of finding a pseudo-solution, creates more problems than anything else by putting in difficulty either a school of the commune but two. “
