The dispute over the closure of the Corridoni primary school in Como has entered a critical judicial phase. As the new school year begins, the future of the facility remains uncertain, pending a Council of State hearing scheduled for September 15. This hearing will address the local administration's plan to demolish the school to construct a parking structure.

On September 14, Paola Frassinetti, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Education and Merit, is scheduled to visit the site alongside Imerio Chiappa, an official from the provincial school office. This visit occurs as students return to classrooms while awaiting the judicial ruling on whether they will remain at the Corridoni site or be transferred to the Venini school.

Preliminary reports indicate that the Venini school may not currently meet the necessary requirements to accommodate the transfer, a development that could provide potential relief to the parents and staff who have been opposing the closure of the Corridoni institution.
