Music halls in danger: New Mensa plans at the Stiftsgymnasium ensure argument

At the Stiftsgymnasium in Sindelfingen there is a significant change. The music hall II is moved to the lecture hall of the neighboring VHS tract to make room for an urgently needed cafeteria. This measure is an interim solution that aims to improve the lunch offer for the students. Lunch is currently being taken by many elementary school students of the Gartenstraße in the Stiftsgymnasium, where additional places are urgently needed.

The administration plans to increase the capacity by 60 additional places in order to meet the requirements of the students. This could be a relief for the family of primary school children, since the current situation is unsatisfactory and there is often a lack of space. Nevertheless, the suggestions that have now been presented in the Committee on Education and Supervision are not undisputed.

criticism of the interim solution

In the committee there are considerable concerns about the master plan for the schools in Sindelfingen. Critics say that the current solutions stutter rather than progress. The planned temporary for lunch does not meet the long -term claims that are placed on modern school catering. These uncertainties and the “interim” approach indicate a major problem in the city's education system, which must be addressed quickly.

The discussion about the changes in the abbey school is part of a larger context in which school care in Sindelfingen is under pressure. If you look at the solutions currently applied, it becomes clear that the city has to develop a holistic approach to school catering. The fact that the Gartenstraße primary school is still waiting for a cafeteria speaks for a lack of resources and planning.

The reconstruction of the music hall II also arouses the questions of visibility and use of rooms at school itself. Services that may seem necessary for the students should not be at the expense of educational and cultural offers. The echo on this proposal already shows that parents also fear that the decision must be rethought so as not to endanger school culture.

These developments make it clear how important it is that the school infrastructure and the catering of the children are planned by the city in the long term and sustainably. The pressure on the administration is growing to give clear answers to the urgent questions of the students and families.
