A first victory.
The handful of teachers who have been exercising their right of withdrawal since Monday at the Maximilien-Perret high school in Alfortville to warn about the conditions in which they teach (false ceilings that are collapsing, gutters, mold, etc.) have been heard.
“The CHSCT academic commission at the rectorate considered our right of withdrawal to be legitimate and the serious and imminent danger was recognized,” this teacher announced this Thursday.
A rare recognition enjoyed by the nine teachers involved out of the hundred in the establishment.
No more false ceiling plates in stock?
As a result, emergency measures will be taken: securing dangerous places, air analyzes in rooms where mold is most prevalent, electrical assessment, etc.
During these withdrawal days, teachers took the opportunity to take an inventory and fill out safety sheets to report traces of mold, leaks, etc.
“We are in solidarity with the management and the maintenance staff who are doing what they can.
Apparently he doesn't even have enough plates left to replace the ones that fall off.

It is clear that since June 2021, the situation has probably not evolved sufficiently and the region's promises have not been followed up on.
Alfortville, January 29, 2024. One of the walls at the Maximilien-Perret high school.

“Why is Maximilien Perret not a priority?
», asks the elected official again this Thursday.
The students, the educational community, the administrative staff of the Maximilien Perret high school in Alfortville are waiting for the work promised since 2021 to secure and sustainably renovate the roof!

Following this audit, the part of the false ceilings in the corridor of Building B was permanently repaired.
This area is now perfectly secure.
As a precautionary measure, all of the high school's false ceilings will be checked.

The community also indicated this Monday that a call for tenders would be launched and a contract notified at the end of 2024. Nine months of heavy work are expected, which is why it will have to be carried out on an occupied site and during school holidays.
The investment is estimated at 1.5 million euros.
