The inadequate maintenance of the Larnaca Pancyprian High School causes serious problems for the safety and health of students, claims the Larnaca Federation of Parents' Associations of Secondary and Technical Education. It expects to receive the work from the contractor, the School Tax Office replies.
In a letter to the President of the Larnaca School Tax Office Petros Chrysostomou, the Federation says that "after a visit by a delegation of the Federation it was found that there are serious problems with the maintenance of the historic building of the city's Pancyprian Lyceum".
"This building, which has been declared a listed building, faces serious problems due to its inadequate maintenance and other inappropriate interventions without proper preparation and approval by the competent authorities," it notes.
It is added that "the Larnaca Pancyprian Lyceum is part of the cultural heritage of our city and we ought to preserve it as the apple of our eye".
The Federation in its letter asks Petros Chrysostomou to inform it immediately about the actions that the School Tax Office intends to take "in order to solve the problem to ensure the proper maintenance and preservation of the building and the safety and health of students."
Placed on the issue Mr. Chrysostomou told CNA that the Technical Services and the Larnaca School Tax Office have not yet received the project from the contractor, who undertook to make the necessary repairs in order to properly maintain and preserve the building.
The School Board, he added, "has pointed out to the contractor certain irregularities and omissions that need to be corrected and then we will revisit the issue in order to make sure that everything that needs to be done in this school is done properly and according to the necessary specifications."
