Moreover, according to the rector, the entire day, as a precaution, social workers are present all day if students want to air their hearts. “You never know what this kind of events can trigger with students.”
No additional safety measures on and around the school
The decision of the municipality to open all schools is well received by the director of Castor College. “According to De Driehoek (mayor, police and the Public Prosecution Service, ed.), The schools are in no way involved in the violence. There is therefore no reason to keep the doors closed.”
According to Van Buuren, no additional safety measures are taken on and around the school. “Where the situation was still unclear on Thursday evening, the mayor and the police now have a much sharper picture.” The area where the school is located will remain until the beginning of October safety risk.
The rector understands that there is commotion among students and parents to open the doors of the school again. “I hear from parents that they are worried,” says Van Buuren. “Yet there is no reason not to go back to the normal situation as quickly as possible.”
“We have to join forces now,” the director concludes. “And get back to work.”
