The school was flooded with water, the children were wet up to their knees • Rains in Haifa

(live here in winter) - The entrance floor of the "David Yelin" elementary school on Yair Katz Street in the center of Carmel was flooded all week following the heavy rains. Parents say that the children got very wet and remained in their wet clothes for several hours. One day it was the teachers and parents who scooped the water from the entrance floor and thus Studying at the school became possible.

The school principal informed the parents about the matter and wrote them a message stating that when there is a lull in the rains, the municipality employees will be able to come and check the drainage system at the school.

"The girl had wet pants up to her knees"

The mother of a first-grade student at the school claims that when she came to pick up her daughter from after-school on Monday, she found her pants wet up to her knees: "The after-school workers told me that the children walked around like that, while wet, for half the school day. The teachers and aides, instead of teaching and being with the children , had to scoop the amounts of water out of the school building.

I understood that the entire first floor was flooded with water, including the classrooms, and the afternoon children were moved from the usual afternoon spot to one of the classrooms, because it was relatively less wet there compared to the rest of the school."

The mother continues: "I saw that there was a lot of water at the entrance to the school building. My daughter got really wet, because the students were moving from place to place. Parents claim that the building was renovated incorrectly and one way to see it is that the water enters the building and there is no slope to get it out.

My daughter was for several hours with wet pants and even the fact that she was wearing boots did not help anything. In the meantime, a call was opened at the municipality and I understood that they had come to check."

The principal of the school, Ilanit Moalem, sent a notice to the parents and informed them that during the first lull in the rains, the issue of drainage in the main building will be taken care of:
"Dear Parents,
At the school, we work in cooperation with the municipality, whose representatives were even invited to tour the school in order to examine the infrastructure and take care of the necessary repairs. The safety officer checked the issue, and at the first break in the rain, the issue of drainage in the main building will be taken care of and the other things will be taken care of by the director of education.
Protecting the students and their safety is in the first place for us and for that reason, we work together with the municipality to provide the best solution.
Best regards, Ilanit."

"Let's rake"

It should be noted that on Tuesday morning, parents received a message calling for them to come collect water, as it is not possible to let the children into the classrooms...

The municipality's response will be attached to the article when received.

  1. I read Michal's response. most. Tel L Adim house manager. A failed book. So Michal, you are very wrong. I say the one who failed is the mayor of Kalish. With what confidence do you vote for a school principal? So I'm telling you a trick that was told to me by one of the senior officials in the municipality who approached her with a request for a budget for the youth of and. Because what is not good. And she made it home. Cliché, she really saved on all the budgets, so the city looks very neglected. It cut personnel in all departments even though the municipality received approvals for the addition of standards. Therefore it is not Pierre Sha. Michal goes out on the principal. When you forgot that every school has a director of the education department in Nablus, he should have taken care of the school. Apparently, the Ministry of Education didn't fight from Bemikk and all department managers who didn't go against Klish.

  2. Good and blessed week! I read the article and had unpleasant memories from 40 years ago at Ort High School in Kiryat Herzog I arrived at school soaked from the waterfalls on the stairs on the way to school in wet socks and shoes for 9 hours I was in classes until returning home an hour's drive I asked another student who was in her boarding school to lend me slippers Hers to dry her frozen and wet feet a little, she didn't want a sad and closed heart to others, no one else at school was interested in my situation then

  3. Horrible to what extent the municipality has deteriorated in its role and failed

    . I was born in Haifa, I don't remember a school being filled with water. Damage to children's health is terrible. According to the situation, the municipality did not prepare for the rain. Surely the gutters were full of dirt and leaves and all other dirt. When the rains started everything had to be clean and ready.
    And of course, even with zipoth, this is not made safe either. . It seems that the acquaintance did not think. On this and the funds were saved. This is what disrespect for building maintenance looks like. And probably neglect, not this year, but a continuation of last year, the situation only got worse. Such criminal neglect has never happened. Shame and disgrace. Why can't you fire a mayor who isn't? Or she is not functioning and just saved money while still sitting on the chair. The honorable mayor. .

  4. It's neglect by the school management like they neglect everything in this school, the same incident happened last year as well and it should have been taken care of last year and nothing was done.

  5. Ha Cheryl to be so smart everyone understands where the money went. Definitely not stripping. That's how bad it is when there are no supervisors.

  6. The kids should have been sent home as soon as it happened. Contempt for the school and the municipality of course.

  7. Everything that the flickering moon touched ended up in a huge deficit or a huge failure or like the "Ferris wheel in the port" nonsense from which nothing came out.
    A grade school in Ramat Hadar was built without a sports hall for 4 years the students had no hall
    A grade school was renovated in a failed manner. The roof they built over the pitch collapsed. floods every winter.

  8. After not taking care of the works of a high financial and cultural school that disappeared during the renovation. It seems that the renovation projector from the municipality did not do his job faithfully.

  9. It is clear from the majority of TMA's construction in the area that there is no soil left that the water can seep through, because everything is concrete and parking lots, and the sewage system has not been adapted to such an amount that it can contain the water. This is how it is when no construction is planned and massive construction is allowed in Carmel and no urban renewal is planned!! Only the greens of Haifa Save the city from returning the contractors and cooperation of the municipality....failure
