Teachers and parents of the Schwarzstraße Elementary School Mobilize all the strength to prevent the approaching closure. An online petition has started and on Friday there will be a brutal march in the city.
“We already had 2500 signatures at night,” said Folk School Director Christoph Sebald that there are so many supporters. On Sunday evening the educational staff started the online petition for the preservation of the Catholic Private School. It is a final attempt to save. Monday afternoon there were nearly 4,000 signatories. “We didn’t expect much support,” says teacher Hannah Auinger, who treats everything online.
School community: “Want around cracks”
The news that the school will already be locked up on July first caused a shock. Now the last forces must be mobilized. In addition to the children, around 20 teachers are hit. The promise that class associations should not be broken down at least, hardly calms anyone. Trust is after years of submitted and possible future solutions that then burst again.
On Monday, Rudolf Mair, director of Salzburg, was also a conversation at the school. “If the last attempts to save, let’s see that the pedagogical continuity is given,” said Mir. He emphasizes that urban primary schools would also guarantee a high level in training. First plans that can take place in the fall for the torn school. In the end, however, it also depends on the wishes of the parents. According to parenting circles, the schools of Mirabelell and Schallmoos have already been spoken.
Protest mars through the city on Friday
All involved is bitter disappointed about the procedure of the religious communities involved. The Franciscans in Vöcklabruck had everything to roll with the sale, but caused a transitional period. Abbey Admont builds apartments and must be accused of greed for profit and heartlessness.
The Teachers’ Association criticizes: “The question arises as to why there is no fair interest in the survival of the renowned primary school in Schwarzstraße on the side of the abbey of the Admont, the church neither in the side of politics in the city and state Salzburg, “says Christine Haslauer, chairman of the SAFT Teacher Association.
“This is also a bankruptcy declaration for the public sector,” said a mother during the first protest meeting on the schoolyard shortly after the closure was announced.
Teachers and parents want to add more on Friday. A march takes place from 1 p.m. The route leads from school to Mirabelell Castle and further to Mozart and Residenzplatz.
