It was during Tuesday evening that it started to burn at Åkerboskolan in Löttorp in northern Öland, probably caused by a lightning strike. The council council Ilko Corkovic (S) was present during the evening and night.

- It is the middle school and the high school that burned up. It's sad, it's tragic. I saw a lot of people and children who were there. Many people have memories there and the school means a lot to Löttorp, says Ilko Corkovic.

New academic year

Next week, the new academic year will start. More than 175 pupils attend Åkerboskolan in Löttorp. Where the students should get their education after the fire is unclear.

- We will do everything we can to try to find temporary premises and be able to teach at home. We will try to solve this in the best possible way for the children to be taught at home, says Ilko Corkovic.

The middle school and the high school are ruined. But at the same time there are premises that have managed, the preschool, the library, the dining room and the gymnasium are still according to the municipal council, but it is unclear when these premises can be used.
