Tirupur Mayor assures parents help regarding school

Tense moments prevailed at the Corporation office here
on Tuesday after a large number of parents whose children study in the
matriculation school run by Rotary Club of Tirupur came up with a demand
to permanently run the school on the present campus itself.

They
appealed to Mayor Visalakshi Appukutty and Corporation Commissioner M.
Ashokan in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict on July 30 that upheld
the Madras High Court order asking the Rotary Club school to shift from
the campus of Jaiva Bhai Corporation Girls Higher Secondary school. The
Rotary school had been functioning on the campus owned by municipal land
where the said Corporation school too was located without the proper
concurrence of the government or the Collector.

Parents
asked the Mayor to allow the school to function permanently on the same
campus itself taking into consideration the plight of the children
studying there. “Coaching in the school has been good and the fee was
lesser among the matriculation schools,” N. Vinod, a parent, claimed.

Mrs. Visalakshi clarified to the parents that the administration would have to follow the court guidelines.

“However, we will ensure alternative steps for the children to continue with their education without any break,” she said.

Contemp of court

Meanwhile,
A. Eswaran, past president of Parent Teachers Association in Jaiva Bhai
Corporation School in whose period the case was taken up in High Court,
said contempt of court proceedings would be initiated if the Rotary
school did not vacate the premises even after the Supreme Court verdict.
