On Wednesday 15th, the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), accompanied by the councillor for Education, Juan José Torres Trella (PP), visited the maintenance work being carried out by the Town Hall at CEIP El Chaparral in La Cala. This work will take place in July and August across all infant and primary schools, aiming to keep the facilities in optimal condition ahead of the new school year.
Twenty municipal workers are carrying out this maintenance work every day in “all schools in Mijas, where cleaning, painting, plumbing and flooring repairs will be carried out”, as well as “standardising waste bins, for example, so that the schools look their best ahead of the start of the new school year”, said Mata. According to the Town Hall, the workers are assigned to the Education Department, although the Energy and Occupational Risk Prevention services are also involved.

Torres Trella added that “when the school year ends, we begin intensive maintenance and repair work, as there are tasks that cannot be carried out when the children are in the clasrooms”. The councillor stated that this year, “as a new development, we have had air-conditioning units installed under the Andalusian Regional Government’s scheme”. However, from the Town Hall’s side, “we manage the maintenance of all these units to ensure they work properly and, as the electrical installations were not done correctly in some schools, we have had to make minor modifications”, he explained.

In addition, specific works are being carried out at four schools with more urgent needs. At CEIP Virgen de la Peña, the playground in the infant area is being repaired, along with the drainage pipes in the kitchen, toilets and dining hall. At CEIP Las Cañadas, the windows are being repaired, while walls and fences are being painted. Meanwhile, fencing is being installed at CEIP San Sebastián, and the perimeter fence around the infant area at CEIP Jardín Botánico is being repaired. All this work is being carried out in accordance with current legislation governing the local authority’s responsibilities in education.
