Palma schools: PSOE wants cooler rooms, greener playgrounds

Palma, Mallorca: the PSOE wants better climate control in public schools and greener playgrounds. It will take the proposal to the city council’s November meeting, calling for Palma City Council and the Balearic government to work more closely on school maintenance and improvements.

The party wants an already announced agreement with the Balearic government’s education department to cover climate-control work and the greening of playgrounds and school grounds. It is also seeking funding commitments, a multi-year plan and a committee to check that the work goes ahead.

Deputy spokesperson Silvana González says schools’ needs must not go unanswered because authorities disagree over who is responsible or fail to coordinate. The PSOE says public schools matter to neighbourhood life and need safe, accessible and comfortable buildings. It also wants a specific response for Palma’s four CEIPIESO schools.
