The Tragedy which took place on Monday, December 5, 2022, at the 9th Elementary School of Serres, in which a 12-year-old child was the victim, It cannot leave us unmoved—whether we have children or not. A tragedy caused by a explosion that occurred in the school's boiler room — an explosion that occurred during recess, resulting in pieces of wall and a metal door were hurled thirty meters away and fell on the children who were there at that moment in the schoolyard.
As a result of this explosion A 12-year-old child (a 6th-grade student) was fatally injured, while slightly Two other children were injured (first- and fourth-grade students, respectively) – The two children received first aid and are now out of danger.
In light of the events that took place at the 9th Elementary School of Serres (for which the municipal authorities of Serres are clearly responsible, since the maintenance of the burners falls under the jurisdiction of the municipalities), the Kythera.News wishes to request Public Announcement from the Municipal Authority of Kythira in order to to provide citizens, parents, and students with immediate and reliable information if it has been done adequate maintenance of the burners in all school facilities (elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, preschools, and even daycare centers).
We would like to to exist real-time updates and for all city council members to take a stand, many of whom are parents of students, because winter is just around the corner and very soon the heaters will need to be turned on to keep students and teachers warm (if they haven’t already been turned on).
And because we are informed (according to our own reliable sources) that The issue was discussed at the meeting of the Finance Committee of the Municipality of Kythira today, Wednesday, December 7, 2022, and that there was not enough information, We openly call on the municipal authorities to clarify whether adequate inspections have been conducted, whether the facilities are certified, and whether they can assure parents of the students’ safety on school grounds.
Because we don't want to witness tragedies like the one at the 9th Elementary School School in Serres.
We look forward to it with great Interest and anxiety to provide the answers that we requested, which We will publish it immediately on our news website.
With respect,
The editorial team at Kythera.News
