Parents' Association President: really sure you know the full facts?

No comments
In the middle of the voting process, the president of the Parents' Association (candidate at the LSC elections on another list) couldn't refrain from avoiding a "bella figura" by sending a "neutral" message to European School parents.
Unfortunately, instead of getting first-hand information from a reliable and trustworthy source like the R&D website, he preferred to spread outdated information - aiming at contesting the validity of R&D initiative about the Garderie bus.
If he had checked the facts, he would have discovered that the Ispra Site Director on 2nd April confirmed to R&D that:
"The WG came back to COPAS with two main recommendations:
- To address to CASS a request for additional budget; this was done and the response was to find a solution locally, no additional budget
- To discuss with the parents benefiting of this service and to convince them to contribute to the financial support of the service"
For the sake of completeness, we include hereafter the unfortunate masterpiece of the president of AGSEV:

Subject:
Bus transportation from European school to the GARDERIE

Dear Parents,
We have taken note of a communication in which it refers to bus transportation from European school to the GARDERIE, communication which argues that " the JRC management is ready to support the concept that in Ispra parents will have to pay…" for this transport

This information does not correspond to reality.

AGSEV has followed with deep attention this issue and we can then communicate that when the coop. of transports asked JRC management to intervene, if necessary, to give funds for this service, the Site Management has expressed its positive opinion.
LSC also expressed a strongly positive opinion.
In addition, various trade unions were unreservedly in favour of financing this transport.

As AGSEV we had confirmation of this, through reading of the minutes of various meetings.

We remember that a specific working group has been made in order to propose solutions to the problem, and we are waiting for the results
As Parents Association we are convinced that this transport should not be on charge of JRC staff, as it is an activity of great social importance, given also flexitime changes for JRC employee

We are aware that they are currently taking place vote for the renewal of the LSC. For this reason, we prefer not to mention the name of the trade union, to avoid any possible manipulation of the parents position.

We simply wish to inform you that, in light of the documents that we have read, the mentioned notice of 7th of April, does not correspond to reality.
Of course all documentation is available to anyone want go in deep.

Best regards,
AGSEV President

We cordially suggest that the president of AGSEV stops defending the administration and starts acting in the real interest of staff and parents: in case of need, R&D is ready to provide him all the necessary support.
