The La Rinconada Town Hall allocates over 800,000 euros from its own funds and an additional 200,000 from the Provincial Council plan at CEIP Los Azahares to prepare educational centres for the new school year.
The La Rinconada Town Hall has launched an ambitious plan for improvement works at the municipality's educational centres during the summer holidays, with a total investment exceeding one million euros. The works, carried out by staff from the Public Infrastructure department, include everything from window replacements to painting, electrical work, and plumbing, aiming to ensure that schools are in perfect condition for the return to classrooms in September.
The majority of the investment, over 800,000 euros, comes from the Town Hall's own funds, while a specific allocation of 200,000 euros has been designated for CEIP Los Azahares, co-financed by the Sevilla Provincial Council. The mayor, Javier Fernández, highlighted during a visit to the works that "there is no better investment than education, as it allows equal opportunities for access to the job market regardless of economic resources." Fernández emphasized that these actions complement other municipal initiatives such as scholarships, support for AMPAs, and hiring caregivers for the second cycle of Early Childhood Education.
At CEIP Los Azahares, the works have included the installation of double-glazed windows, which improve acoustic insulation and thermal efficiency, providing greater comfort for students and teachers. Additionally, the building has been painted both inside and out, transforming its aesthetics. These improvements are part of a broader plan that includes replacing traditional lighting with LED lights, in line with the Town Hall's environmental commitment.
At the other educational centres in La Rinconada, the actions have been defined after meetings with management teams and AMPAs, prioritizing the repair of deficiencies caused during the school year. The work encompasses electrical, plumbing, gardening, masonry tasks, and the replacement of damaged elements. The Public Infrastructure delegate, Rafael Reyes, conducts thorough monitoring to ensure that the work is carried out correctly and that the centres will be ready for the start of the school year.
Reyes explained that "it is important to know the conservation, restoration, and maintenance needs of each centre, and that is why each year we meet with the management teams of the schools who provide us with all the relevant information for the completion of the works." The municipal education officer added that "our job is to provide children with a high-quality public education, and the proper functioning of schools is the fundamental basis to contribute to their well-being during their studies."
This year, the works have also had to address the effects of the heavy winter rains, which have necessitated additional actions at some centres. The Town Hall has reinforced the budgets to ensure that all facilities are in optimal condition. In recent years, the Town Hall has made a significant investment effort in modernizing schools, with special attention to energy efficiency and accessibility.
The summer works at the schools in La Rinconada are part of a continuous strategy for improving municipal public education. The mayor recalled that "the doors of the Town Hall are always open to address the needs of educational centres," and emphasized that this series of actions "reinforces our commitment to public education." With the completion of the works scheduled for the end of August, the more than 3,000 students in the municipality will be able to start the school year in renovated and safe facilities.
