Public Ministry issues recommendations for schools in Miracema do Tocantins

The Public Ministry of Tocantins (MP/TO) has issued four recommendations to the City Hall and the Municipal Secretariat of Education in Miracema do Tocantins. The measures aim to address critical issues regarding safety, sanitation, accessibility, and pedagogical support at four specific schools: Dalva Cerqueira Brito, Vilmar Vasconcelos Feitosa, Francisco Martins Noleto, and Brigadeiro Lísias Rodrigues.

Technical inspections revealed several hazards, including exposed electrical wiring, gas cylinders placed near industrial stoves, expired fire extinguishers, and inadequate bathroom facilities. At the Dalva Cerqueira Brito school, which serves 355 students, inspectors identified a risk of a wall collapsing at an annexed unit, prompting a recommendation for immediate area isolation and an engineering assessment.

Other identified issues include bathrooms in the Vilmar Vasconcelos Feitosa school that use cloth curtains instead of doors, and a lack of professional support for students with disabilities. The MP/TO has requested the hiring of five assistants to support 24 special education students, as well as the installation of accessible toilets and the repair of air conditioning units.
