A primary school only gets a deputy principal if it has more than 180 students.
The population growth in Erdinger Land is now giving three institutions this additional management function.
Erding/Eitting/Pastetten - The school authority has just named and introduced the new vice-principals: Barbara Unterbauer at Lodererplatz in Erding, Teresa Maier in Pastetten and Theresia Katharina Schiedermeier in Eitting.
The former is already in office, the other two will officially take over responsibility on August 1st.
Teresa Maier (41) studied primary school teaching in Munich and came to the Erding district for her traineeship.
From 2008 to 2011 she taught at the Markt Schwaben high school before taking parental leave.
Maier moved to the Pastetten elementary school in 2016. She has been deputy headmaster there since 2021, and is now deputy principal.
Theresia Katharina Schiedermeier was educated in San José in California in 1988, but she spent her school career in the Munich district, which was followed by studying to become a teacher in Passau.
Her teaching stations were Wörth, Erding and Moosinning.
She is now deputy principal at the Eitting elementary school.
Barbara Unterbauer (48) completed her high school diploma in Dingolfing and studied in Regensburg.
She worked as a primary school teacher at the Carl Orff primary school in Altenerding and at Lodererplatz in Erding.
She has been deputy headteacher there since 2018 and is now also promoted to deputy headteacher.
She is also an internship teacher for teacher training students at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
All three emphasized that they were happy to take on responsibility.
The head of the Erdinger school authority, Robert Leiter, also acknowledged this.
He also invited the respective mayors.
Erding's Mayor Max Gotz also praised the new deputy principals' willingness to take on responsibility.
He also spoke of the major challenges facing schools and municipalities - with the legal right to full-day care in primary schools from 2026. But migration also means significant additional work for school families.
With the all-day care, the municipalities left the sponsorship, “that goes very far into the educational sphere,” said the mayor, who warned the federal and state governments not only to pass laws, but also to provide the financing for implementation.
The school at Lodererplatz, Gotz continued, is facing a major challenge “because it will be moving to the air base area in the medium term during the conversion.”
His colleague from Pastetten, Peter Deischl, recalled that his community was a pioneer when it came to open all-day schools (OGTS).
When the law comes into effect in 2026, “we will need an additional school bus route.”
Pastetten will not be able to avoid expanding the school building.
In view of the current dispute in his community, Deischl emphasized: “It’s not about school or fire station – we do both.”
Eitting's town hall boss Reinhard Huber praised the still young primary school association that his community had formed with Oberding.
He also called all-day care an urgent problem: “We are bursting.
A new building is already being considered.” ham
