L'Epinette school in Libourne (Gironde) - M.Bosredon / 20Minutes

  • The chosen one will require parents to wear a mask near the city's schools, when putting on and removing children.
  • It will also offer primary school children and to a lesser extent kindergarten children, as well as teachers, a visor to wear in class.
  • The stake of this return, he believes, will be to "limit the impact of a possible case of Covid in schools".

Anticipate, and reassure parents. The mayor of Libourne (Gironde), Philippe Buisson (PS), this Wednesday unrolled the health protocol which will be applied in schools in the city from Tuesday, September 1. "I call on the parents of students and the children to come to school," he insisted. School is compulsory, and children must return next Tuesday without any particular fear, but with necessary precautions. "

Recalling that the Gironde "has been in high vulnerability since Tuesday", Philippe Buisson believes that "more important barrier gestures are recommended, especially in the school environment. "

Schedules staggered according to levels

Thus, the city has decided “to stagger the back-to-school hours, level by level, between 8:15 am and 8:45 am.” The extra-curricular time will be extended to adapt to these new schedules. This device will be in force as long as the coronavirus epidemic lasts, "at least until Christmas, and most certainly throughout the school year" warns the mayor, who recalls that "the objective is to limit the mixing. "

Regarding barrier gestures, the mayor announced that he was going to make by decree “the wearing of the mask compulsory near schools, during the installation and removal of children, for parents. "And he warns that" it will be controlled and possibly verbalized. »A perimeter of a few tens of meters will be delimited. "I wish, wherever there are places of outdoor gathering, to impose the wearing of a mask in Libourne," continues the elected official, especially in view of the contamination figures which have exploded in recent days in Gironde, even if the Libournais is a rather preserved territory. "

Visors offered to children and teachers

If the government has not imposed the wearing of masks on children under 11, in Libourne the municipality will offer "to all children of primary and kindergarten - at least in large section - the wearing of visors. "" We will provide public and private schools with visors, of a size suitable for children, and we will also provide a visor to teachers who so wish. "

Philippe Buisson recalls that the government protocol stipulates that the teacher must wear the mask in class, except when he is at his desk. “Many teachers have let us know that they will adopt the visor,” he says, “even if it is protection that does not replace the mask. "

Thermometers in most classes

"There will be cases of Covid in schools, anticipates the elected official, but the principle will be to know how to treat them, detect them, isolate them. "For this, most classes in Libourne will be equipped with frontal thermometers, remotely," which will allow each teacher to take the temperature of a student who seems ill. "

If a case of Covid occurs, "there will be a systematic screening of contact cases in the class, so as to possibly quarantine the class, but not the school. "Because one of the big challenges of this new school year, will be according to Philippe Buisson to" limit the impact of a possible case of Covid in schools, hence the interest in limiting the mixing.
