Broken windows, overturned tables and chairs... This Friday morning, the team of the college Évariste-Galois in Sevran had the very bad surprise to discover that the establishment had been the target of acts of vandalism during the night from Thursday to Friday.
"I strongly condemn the deterioration committed," responded Stéphane Troussel (PS), the president of the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis – the community in charge of the management and construction of colleges – in a message published on the social network Facebook. The elected official went on site this Friday with the mayor of the town and the prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis. The intruders - if there are several - have not been identified.
"There was really big damage, a desire to ransack, especially on the room hosting the Segpa section and the multipurpose room, we describe to the departmental council. Our teams have been working since this morning to ensure that the college can reopen on Tuesday (Editor's note: Monday is a holiday because of Pentecost)." The community filed a handrail. It had not yet assessed the amount of damage as of Friday afternoon.
"The principal has for his part filed a complaint for intrusion," details the Directorate of Departmental Services of National Education (DSDEN), which also went on site this Friday to meet the teams. The establishment remained closed for the day on the advice of the national police. "The mobile security teams will be asked to accompany the teams," says the DSDEN.
