Kekava school in Latvia shut down after information that building not cleared for use

BC, Riga, 06.12.2013.Print version
In what could be described as extreme caution since the November 21 supermarket tragedy [under investigation] in Riga, many entities are checking, double checking, and in many cases, questioning the quality of building construction, and all required paperwork thereof. A case in point surfaced today as the Plavniekkalna Primary School was ordered closed by the Keklava Region Council after it found out that the building had not been through final inspection following renovation, informs LETA.

Now, the school will undergo a thorough technical evaluation, and an explanation is awaited from the officials in charge for such a situation.

 

Council members – on the council's homepage, declared that "we cannot risk the lives of our children and teachers, therefore the school's normal schedule has been suspended until we get confirmation from experts that the building is safe, and the school authorized for operations after passing final inspection."

 

Kekava, just south of the Riga border, has been checking all public buildings since the roof collapse in the "Maxima XX" store in Riga-Zolitude that claimed 54 lives.
