Since the association of parents of school Pascual Canis tell us the situation we are living this college, whose future at today seem less uncertain. Below you can read mail we have sent:
Hello! I am José González, member of Canis Pascual AMPA.
I send a short summary of what is happening to our school and what might have heard something but do not be first-hand information.
The story is long and I will not bore you over some details that you want to know in depth if we could arrange a talk and clarify anything that you want to know.
Going back several years ago (in the Butlletí 170 September 2006 and was published), we were promised by the department both d 'Educació as by the City a complete remodeling of our school or building a new one.
Apparently the words with the wind and the project died down, although it came to show demos of the new school.
The initial idea was to move to Ceip La Unió (occupying the second line being built) for the duration of the work of remodeling ours for once finished this back to our school. Then the second line of La Unió would deal with children of families as the Administration would come to live in new houses that are, or will be built along Avenida Barcelona.
The truth is that there are several realities:
That these houses are not being built, or sold as they had expected.
That encounter a new work that will not be able to occupy.
That according to them, due to the crisis there is no money to build new schools than 1 line, then changed the version and now is an ordinance of the Government that was signed before we could accommodate us.
That much less money will be spent on a school reform 1 line.
In this context Administration (Generalitat and Hall) sees the play very clear: Merge the two schools and "kill two birds with one stone." The new building Pascual has promised them and the second line of the Union, we are going to be empty, we get filled. The move round.
goes without saying that all agree. SCHOOL IS MORE THAN A NEW BUILDING.
To "convince" that everything they do for the sake of our children, first told us that we have a problem with the high rate of immigrant students enrolled in our center, data not deny it is unquestionable that if we deny it to be a problem in itself. This index is around 36% in our case, in La Unió think is over 24% (no schools in town are at 2%).
That "problem" he was going to be resolved by creating a dual-line school where immigrant children would be divided between two classes, bringing the total index of immigrant children would fall. But you see where it appears that in Union there are also immigrant children (American in the case of La Unió and Muslims in ours).
What if you do is merge two schools with a high rate of immigrant students?. Result: a SuperColegio Ghetto. Ita problem that they created (because they have never ignored when they said we had to diversify the types of students from every school in the district) now we have to meet us.
Bomb now blows up in their face and hide.
came to tell us that according to statistics handled by the Department of Education, our school children do not go well prepared for the ESO, they say, because of the delay it causes in the rest of the class immigrant student. But when we ask for these data argue that such documentation is "secret" and that neither the City has access to it.
After several meetings and talks between the management of Canis and Amparo Pascual, with Ms. Olga Adroher as Mayor and Councillor Povey Gemma Guard, the only conclusion that we have is that the City Council washes its hands, with the excuse that their only obligation is to put the land to be the Government who built . And as there is sufficient enrollment to justify P3 building a new school (not constructed as 1 line) because they will not spend the money to build that We were promised, let alone having to reform the current a new work finished and that they will be empty. This picture
ask the support of the Neighborhood Association of Las Planas, and its President Antonio Gámez interested in our situation. Mostly because the merger of the two schools would leave the district with only two schools, with only one of them public.
After mediation by Antonio Gámez things have not changed much, although his speech is not so radical.
continue with the proposed merger, but now the problem of immigrant students are going to solve it another way: DEAL FOR ALL SCHOOLS OF ST. JOAN DESPÍ immigrant pupils of Canis Pascual and attached, to achieve balance index foreign / domestic. And to all, means not only those who come new to P3 but those who already have a place in any course or Primary Children.
This is a verbal agreement that was offered to the President of the Residents Association when he put them on the table the data from the two schools, because apparently this lady (Olga Adroher), said to ignore that in The students have also joined immigrant in a considerable number.
Another commitment was to not touch the Canis Pascual building upon completion of the merger, in at least five years. The courtyard of the school district would be available so that residents could use as a public park.
What would happen if they increase the population or birth?: So your "wonderful idea" would be to build a new building Pascual land of Canis, but ONLY for Children, ie 3 lines of Children (P3-P4-P5) would be a new building on the grounds of Pascual and 3 primary lines would remain in the building of La Unio. Needless to say, the problems this would cause to families with children, for example 4 and 8 years. But according to Ms. Adroher she only has the obligation to provide schooling for children, AS is not important.This only has a name: a patch, a bloated, once more flee the problem.
The theme to this day is so, the Administration did not get off the donkey and have the decision a long time, despite that we have been saying that nothing was final and that everything would be done with a consensus decision by all parties.
We want what was promised: Our school has one line, because we understand the characteristics of our school and neighborhood is the best way to work a successful educational project.
understand that if someone is to blame for this situation is only government (state or municipal) who have left the building, which have not provided material resources and much less professional. Who have no idea of \u200b\u200bplanning, the situation has gotten out of their hands and seek the easy way out rather than face the problema.
Deciros también que nos invitaron a ver la obra y nos pareció estupenda ( a quien no le gusta un edificio nuevo con todas las comodidades, ¿verdad? ), pero como ya dije antes "Una escuela es algo más que un edificio nuevo", y esta frase no es mía; se la cogí prestada a una directora que en el ultimo Consell Municipal d'Educació nos mostró su apoyo, al igual que la mayoría de miembros de la comunidad educativa que se encontraban allí presentes.
Queremos hacer publico nuestro problema, ya que hasta ahora lo hemos llevado todo desde dentro; confiando en la solución pactada con la Administración, que según el Ayuntamiento se iba a conseguir.As at no time have taken account of our opinion (the position of the City Council has no name) try to enlist the support of any resident or organization that is truly aware of what was supposed to close the Canis Pascual.
Moreover we are preparing some mobilization to showcase our rejection of this "without reason."
AMPA members are not politicians or have aspirations to be, only parents who are more willing to try to dignify that means public school despite the limited resources it offers the administration, it is the color.
Just a greeting and we have at your disposal for any clarification. José González
