According to sources, the situation at the F-6 school, where the oldest students have just turned 13, is described as sometimes chaotic. Violence and threats between students and against teachers are currently happening several times a week. " The escalating situation at the school has now become a serious work environment problem for both students and teachers.
The safety representatives recently sent a letter to the Swedish Work Environment Authority with six demands for measures, though the specific demands have not been disclosed. The measures proposed by the school leadership include increased adult presence and interventions from student health services. However, the staff do not believe that the measures tried so far have had any significant positive effect.
Here you can get hit, at any time.
" The leadership of the school administration is fully aware of the problems at the school. Operations manager Stefan Denkert said, "It is clear that this is serious. Threats and violence are always unacceptable.
" Denkert also indicated, "I think the school has taken this seriously and, for example, allocated resources. " The newspaper Ångermanland first reported this. It remains unclear how long this situation has been escalating at the school.
It is many, both among the students and the staff, who think it is tough to come here.
We do not see any improvement or that it is moving in the right direction, we see that this continues.
It is clear that this is serious. Threats and violence are always unacceptable. But one must remember that it is children we are dealing with.
I think the school has taken this seriously and, for example, allocated resources. And we have received positive signals recently, among others from parents.
