School has started for three weeks now, but in various institutes on the island the ATA staff, from administrative employees to school collaborators, is not yet full.
This was reported by the Coordination of the presidents of the school councils of Sardinia. "School autonomies - we read in a note - have had to resort to numerous stratagems in order to guarantee essential services to safeguard the supervision and safety of students".
The schools, continues the Coordination, "have had to navigate the bureaucracy and tasks due to the planning of the resources of the Pnrr, which, even if it can temporarily provide additional ATA staff, distracts part of them from the already complex and numerous obligations".
The ones who are affected, we read in the note, are mainly primary and lower secondary schools, forced in many cases to "postpone full-time and the school lunch service indefinitely due to the lack of ATA staff".
Which, the Coordination observes, "negatively affects the training offer and family organisation".
Finally, the appeal: «An immediate intervention to increase the ATA staff, for the purposes of the safety and functionality of the school system and to guarantee equal rights to all students in Sardinia, already suffering in terms of dispersion».
