this Federation of Puerto Rican Teachers (FMPR) Reports said that several schools lost water and electricity a few days before classes started and after Tropical Storm Ernesto.
Due to the emergency situation caused by the meteorological phenomena that affected the island this week, the start of classes has been postponed to next Monday, August 19.
However, via a press release, FMPR He reported that more than 40 schools were without electricity services and eight schools were without drinking water.
Likewise, other circumstances that impacted on returning to school were reported, e.g. Iglesias Pantin de Seba School Where the electric pole collapsed Francisco Gaztambide School Due to construction work, only six rooms are open. Pedro Albizu Campos School Schools from Levittown will be placed on “interlock” while the INNOVA school is built, and some teachers will be without classrooms.
“This is a display of inefficiency and criminal negligence on the part of LUMA Energy that has impacted educational services for our students. These are not suitable for learning and working, especially as the heatwave has made classroom temperatures stifling. LUMA disasters on our campus are not new. We have experienced them in previous semesters: persistent power outages and failures that have left multiple schools short of energy, electrical equipment damaged, drinking fountains stopped functioning, toilets not flushing due to lack of water pressure, their water tanks not functioning, dark rooms filled with mosquitoes, etc.,” the FMPR statement read.
“We cannot start a new school term in these circumstances. We demand immediate action to revitalize the country, the community, including our schools. We also demand that the government act to restore the jobs of PREPA employees, who are needed now more than ever,” he added.
