Miracema rural school inspection reveals contaminated water and structural failures
An inspection by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Tocantins (MPTO) has revealed severe structural and sanitary issues at the Boanerges Moreira de Paula Municipal School in the rural area of Miracema.
According to the inspection conducted by prosecutors Anelise Schlickmann Mariano and Rodrigo Souza, the school's well water was found to be contaminated. A report from the Tocantins Central Public Health Laboratory (Lacen) identified the presence of total coliforms and Escherichia coli. While mineral water is provided for direct student consumption, the contaminated well water is still being used to prepare school meals.
Additionally, the school lacks piped water in the bathrooms, forcing students to carry buckets of water to use the toilets and wash their hands. The inspection also noted problems with classroom climate control and a lack of basic supplies, affecting the 55 students enrolled at the facility.
