RS Justice complied with the request of the Union of State Teachers to postpone the beginning of the school year that was scheduled for this Monday (10); States Government has complied with classes in 2,320 schools
The courts made the decision to postpone the start of classes in the state public network, in response to the forecast of extreme heat in the coming days. This postponement was requested by the Union of State Teachers, which highlighted the lack of adequate infrastructure in schools to face high temperatures. As a result, the state government announced the suspension of classes in 2,320 schools, which should have started on Monday (10). The new date for the beginning of the school year will be released today.
The State Department of Education, however, appealed to court in an attempt to reverse this provisional decision. The weather forecast indicates that intense heat should persist in the coming days, with the state recording record temperatures. Last week, the municipality of Quaraí registered 43.8 degrees, with the thermal sensation exceeding 50 degrees in various regions. This situation has generated concern between the authorities and the population, which is still in the process of recovering a devastating flood last year.
The postponement of the classes has as its main objective to protect students and teachers from adverse weather conditions. The decision reflects a concern for the health and well-being of the school community, in the face of an extreme heat scenario that affects the state.
