The Lebrija City Council has allocated 50,000 euros for maintenance and improvement actions in the public educational centres of the locality, ahead of the start of the 2026/2027 school year.
The Lebrija City Council has invested 50,000 euros in a maintenance, conservation, and improvement plan for the public educational centres in the municipality. The works have affected eight Infant and Primary schools and the Centre for Permanent Education, and have been carried out during the summer months to prepare the facilities for the 2026/2027 school year.
The mayor of Lebrija, Pepe Barroso, visited the CEIP Ignacio Halcón this morning accompanied by the delegates for Education and Maintenance, María Paula García and Antonio Manuel Caro, to check the results of the works. During the visit, Barroso explained that the works respond to the needs conveyed by the management teams of each centre.
“It is the management teams who convey the detected needs, and from them, the actions are planned and managed, prioritising those related to safety, the conservation of buildings, accessibility, and the improvement of educational spaces,” the mayor pointed out.
The interventions have been varied. Electrical and lighting works have been carried out, such as the replacement of fluorescent tubes and fixtures, the installation of emergency lights, and the repair of outdoor lighting. The alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and public address systems have also been reviewed.
A significant part of the actions has been motivated by leaks and dampness caused by last winter's rains. Gutters, roofs, and cracks have been repaired, and waterproofing works have been executed to prevent these problems from recurring.
In terms of accessibility, architectural barriers and risk elements have been removed, doors have been repaired, and slippery areas have been marked. Classrooms and facilities have also been painted, interior spaces have been redistributed, and storage rooms and bathrooms have been adapted.
Outside, actions have been taken on sports fields and play areas, with the replacement of gravel. Bins and containers have been installed in the centres that requested them, and materials have been provided to the caretakers so they can quickly resolve minor repairs.
In addition, a general cleaning and disinfection of all public centres, both indoors and outdoors, has been carried out by the staff of INMUVISA. Coordination has been the responsibility of the delegations of Education and Maintenance, along with INMUVISA and the management teams themselves.
The mayor emphasised that these works have been planned based on the specific needs of each centre and that summer is the ideal time to carry them out, as the schools are empty.
“This set of actions responds to a planning carried out based on the specific needs of each centre, with special attention during the summer period, when the absence of students allows for works that would be more complex to carry out during the school term,” Barroso stated.
The works are not finished. The City Council has announced that over the coming days, work will continue at the centres, taking advantage of the fact that the Infant and Primary students have not yet fully returned. The aim is for the school year to start under the best possible conditions.
“The maintenance of our schools is a permanent responsibility of the City Council and requires planning, coordination, and responsiveness throughout the year. Our goal is for our boys and girls to start the school year in safe, well-maintained, accessible centres and under the best possible conditions,” the mayor concluded.
