Applied for the school and the municipality
SVT Gävleborg has tried to reach the principal Niklas Hedqvist, sector manager for education Gävle Thomas Hartikainen and elementary school director Eva Levin on several occasions.
On some occasions, answers have been given via email, where they also say no to interviews.
“You have applied to both me and Niklas Hedqvist for an interview as you want to hear about how we worked with this event. Both Niklas and I refuse an interview as we do not comment on special events ".
"Regarding the security work at all our schools, it is constantly ongoing and obvious with the goal that the school should be a place where you should be safe,"
wrote elementary school principal Eva Levin in an email.
Now Eva Levin chooses to stand up for an interview.
