“For twelve bucks, the children of Chartainvilliers would be better off going to eat at a restaurant.”
The shocking phrase of “JP” on social networks, repeated in our article of March 14, and the mobilization of other parents of students in the town, after learning that the bill for the school canteen had doubled overnight, hit the mark.
The prefecture of Eure-et-Loir summoned the Community Council of Portes Euréliennes (CCPEIDF), on Thursday March 21, to cancel this deliberation of February 22 aimed at increasing the price of the canteen only for the commune of Chartainvilliers.
The decision to increase the price of the meal from 6 to 11.92 euros was deemed non-compliant by the prefecture.
“This allows us to worry less about the months to come”
Caroline Laronze, parent of a student in Chartainvilliers and vice-president of the parents' association (APEL), says she is satisfied with this decision: "It's really a relief for the families, it allows us to have a little more time to look back and worry less about the months to come.
This will also give Chartainvilliers town hall time to organize the next school year as best as possible.

Caroline underlines a crucial point mentioned in the letter from the prefecture: “It is mentioned that the rate applicable to families in Chartainvilliers cannot be higher than the cost price of the service, which was the case with the last deliberation.
This means for us that, even if the Portes Euréliennes Community Council once again returns to the agreement made with the municipalities of our intercommunal union, the price of the meal requested from parents of students in Chartainvilliers will be less than 11.92 euros. , even when applying an external rate,” she explains.

Despite the good news, families prefer to remain cautious and vigilant.
" A victory ?
Not entirely.
It is assumed that the Eurelian Gates Community Council will appeal the decision.
And for the moment, despite several requests, we have not had official feedback from them on the new prices.
This lack of communication is really to be deplored from the start,” regrets the vice-president of APEL.
