The e-mails, an appointment torn off with the management of the departmental services of National Education have not changed anything, there will be no snow class this year for the son of Marie and about fifty CM2 students from the Nuyens school, in Bordeaux: “It’s really disappointing to cancel this kind of stay. They are already all together in class during the week, there was no more risk, on the contrary, to send them to snow class so that they take a breath of fresh air and they disconnect a little.”
The CM2 stay planned in a holiday center in Ariège was canceled at the last minute due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Faced with the soaring number of cases in schools, academic inspections are opting for the precautionary principle. A new blow for the director Didier Ballot, who manages several establishments in the Pyrenees: “In the month of January, we lose 50% of stays in all of our establishments. The problem for 2022 is that partial unemployment taken at 100%, is only accessible from the moment we has more than 65% loss of turnover. We do not currently meet these criteria, so it is very complicated.
It is better to cancel a stay than to have to interrupt it, justifies Valérie Ragaleux, from the academic management of Gironde, as was the case at the very beginning of January with “six children tested positive and the teacher tested positive”. She specifies that the canceled stays were finally postponed to the spring. National Education does not prohibit snow classes but advises to postpone them.
