Tonight, Monday 23/10/23, a message was received from the Home Front Command that the state of emergency is over and return to normal learning in Haifa and Kiryat. The Home Front Command has removed all the restrictions that existed until now on learning in Haifa.
The Haifa municipality approved the return, but it is possible that some of the educational institutions will ask for an additional day to get organized (you must check with the management of the educational institution individually). We are waiting for official announcements from the municipalities in Kiryat Because the education system is back in action.
A message will be sent to parents and students in the next few hours
The Mayor of Chaima, Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, said this evening that in the coming hours the parents and students will receive notices regarding the return to school.
The head of the directorate of education in the municipality Ilana Truk announced that The schools and kindergartens that request an extra day for preparation will receive it. At the same time, there will be after-school classes that will open tomorrow or there will be a postponement on the day.
The special education
Truk explained that special education is returning to regular learning starting tomorrow, but special education transportation will begin starting Thursday.
Kalish Rotem asked the parents to be tolerant:
We ask for patience. The economy is not working at full capacity. There may be a situation where a kindergarten teacher cannot come or a teacher is recruited. You need to keep up to date with the school administrators. We are still in an unimaginable reality. We will do everything possible to bring back the studies, but we need to understand the limitations. You will receive the information from the teams.
A security guard in every school
Regarding security, it was guaranteed that every school would have a security guard. If security guards are missing, the Home Front Command will help and there will be soldiers in place of the missing security guards.
Protection - an irrelevant option
Einat Kalish says this evening at a conference broadcast on social networks:
"The municipality is investigating the possibility of bringing safety nets to be placed in the public space. It cannot be in every kindergarten, since there are 284 kindergartens. A shelter can contain 15-20 children, so it cannot cater for two or three kindergartens. The shield is not adapted to Haifa. Haifa is lucky to be able to live normally. It is impossible to build shelters and safety nets for everyone in a few days. Children's safety comes before going back to school.''
What about schools without a standard shelter?
During a discussion held on video, one of the parents asked to know what students at the Fichman school in Ramez would be able to do if there was an alarm, when the school does not have a correctional shelter at all.
The representative of the Home Front Command, Col. Dubev Weiss:
The teams know the instructions. Tomorrow there will be a very large presence of the forces in the field. We will do an exercise so that we know that we all know what to do.
This is not the place and time to bash the mayor. She joins all the mayors who were before her and did not think to protect the educational institutions. After the Second Lebanon War, did anyone doubt that another war would come at some point? Typical Israeli irresponsibility, that's why we got to what we got.
A decision of the Home Front Command. When the chef prepared an unpalatable dish, the customer is angry with the waiter. the human condition. Which brought us to the current situation in the first place.
Such an irresponsible decision fits the cliché
rejects the response. I have no preferences.. just disappointed with everyone.
rejects the imagination. I am another..
That you scatter obscenities in Ramot Ramez, entire streets without shelter and without MMD.
Haifa's biggest danger is the residents.
I want to know who takes responsibility. I have two grandchildren in kindergarten in Bat Galim, a private kindergarten, and there is no dimension. The kindergarten teacher said the dimension is the toilets. Who takes responsibility for this? The municipality of Haifa, which allows women to open a kindergarten without a security dimension for children.
A disgraced disconnected mayor must resign immediately. As a student who is afraid to leave his house during war, I have to go out and be in existential anxiety because the mayor wants to get votes in the elections. Who assures me that something won't happen while I'm riding the bus back from school? Why not arrange transportation for the students so that they are in less danger. The mayor of Kalish does not care about the welfare of these residents, only her personal welfare. I'm not going to vote for you in the election.
Many parents will not send their children to kindergartens and school
Living in a movie, I don't say where I work, but everything the government says, do the opposite, irresponsibility and professionalism at a disgusting level.
Shame of a mayor, disconnected and must resign immediately. For me, she is not my mayor. It doesn't make sense that I should come to school while there is a war going on and my country is collapsing. Go kibinimat klish.
You're right. That's why many parents won't send their children.. Trashy government
How do you give such a directive? There are private gardens without a protected space. Unprotected schools. How?
A delusional and irresponsible decision
A completely delusional decision
There are kindergartens that do not have a protected space. There is no shelter and no MMD, how exactly will the children be there? Really irresponsible!!
that Ms. Kalish Rotem would be willing to send her family to school tomorrow.
