The readiness of educational institutions for the new academic year was checked in the Soviet district.

      In the run-up to September 1, the inspection commission headed by State Duma deputy from the Nizhny Novgorod region, member of the "United Russia" faction Yuri Balashov checked the readiness of schools No. 46 and No. 49, as well as kindergarten No. 441 in the Soviet district. The working group included representatives from the education department, district administration, and party activists.

      At school No. 46 on Boris Kornilov Street, a comprehensive set of works was completed for the new academic year. In the building constructed in 1971, 24 heating radiators were replaced, cosmetic repairs were made to the large gym, changing rooms, and technology classroom, and new furniture was purchased for two classrooms, while the restrooms were completely renovated.

      In the cafeteria, new equipment was installed, power cables were replaced, the tiling and dining hall were completely updated, and modern tables and chairs were acquired.

      "This year we prepared vigorously once again - a large volume of work was done. We replaced everything that needed updating: from engineering systems to furniture. Now all classrooms and premises are ready for classes. Only minor final touches remain. We are eagerly waiting for the kids in the renovated school!" said the director of school No. 46, Artem Davidenko.

      As part of the security program, 16 internal video cameras were replaced, and last year, the external perimeter of the school was fully equipped with video surveillance at a budget cost of 7.5 million rubles.

      Next, the team visited kindergarten No. 441 "Kuznechik" on Vaneeva Street. Here, most of the developmental spaces have been moved outdoors - the old building does not have enough rooms for additional classes. The territory has been equipped with a theatrical stage for performances and musical salons, as well as a sports area for family competitions.

      Additionally, the kindergarten has a traffic rules learning area, a weather station, and a forest corner. The "Russian Courtyard" project continues - the modernization of the garden with elements of landscape design.

      "We actively prepared as a team: we repaired, painted, purchased, and installed. It is important for us that children feel comfortable and find it interesting every day. Outdoors, we created modern spaces for games and activities, and inside the groups, everything is bright and cozy. The kindergarten is fully ready to welcome its pupils - we are expecting about 400 kids," noted the head of kindergarten No. 441, Elena Muravyeva.

      At the end of the inspection, the team visited school No. 49. Significant work has been done at the educational institution in preparation for the new academic year. The director of the school, Olga Klusova, noted that new classrooms for children with autism spectrum disorders have been prepared by September 1 - now there will be three such classes, with special zones created for them.

      A speech therapy room has been equipped. Its establishment is particularly important. Specialist assistance is needed not only for students with autism spectrum disorders but also for regular students. The institution has also acquired a modern music classroom.

      Special attention has been paid to the security system: the perimeter of the school is completely enclosed by a new solid fence. Almost one and a half million rubles have been allocated from the budget for its construction. Automatic swing gates costing 125,000 rubles have also been installed.

      The cafeteria has been updated: comfortable conditions have been created for both staff and children. Cosmetic repairs have been made to classrooms and corridors. In the new academic year, the school will welcome 1,060 students, of whom 80 are first-graders.

      "We prepared for September 1 with special attention because we want children to come to a cozy, safe, and beautiful school. It is important for us that every child feels comfortable - whether they are a high school student, a first-grader, or a student who needs special support. We have created new spaces for creativity, for speech therapy sessions, for children with autism. We have strengthened security and updated the cafeteria. But the main thing is that we want the school to be a second home for the kids, where they are loved and awaited. We are already writing a script and preparing a flash mob for the festive lineup," said Olga Klusova.

      Following the inspection, the commission noted the high level of preparedness of all institutions visited by the team during the working trip.

      "We visited three educational institutions in the Soviet district. I can clearly say: they are all fully ready for the start of the new academic year. This includes anti-terrorist protection, fire safety, and food blocks where the kids will have their meals, as well as classroom repairs. Children will be able to start their studies in maximally comfortable and safe conditions," emphasized Yuri Balashov.

      As noted by the head of the education department of the Soviet district administration, Svetlana Shustova, as of today, 80% of the district's educational organizations have been accepted. All of them are ready for the start of the academic year. Large-scale work has been carried out to create a safe educational environment: modern equipment and furniture have been purchased - ergonomic chairs, new tables, individual cabinets for compensatory education classes, cribs, and lockers in kindergartens.

      New asphalt has been laid in three preschool institutions, and the territories have been improved. For example, kindergarten No. 404 received new fencing and asphalt covering. Textbooks have been purchased at 100%, and many institutions have had their entrance groups renovated.

      "Every year we approach the acceptance of educational institutions with special attention because the health and safety of our children are at stake. We see how schools and kindergartens are transforming: classrooms are being updated, modern spaces are emerging, and security is being strengthened. And it is especially pleasant that all the institutions we checked are ready for September 1 without any remarks. This is the result of the tremendous work of the teams - they put their hearts into the preparation, and the children will definitely feel it," said Svetlana Shustova.

      Let us remind you that the party team is a systematic tool for public control that allows for the prompt assessment of the condition of social facilities, identifying problem areas, and responding in a timely manner to residents' requests. The visits take place regularly and cover key areas of life in the region: education, healthcare, landscaping, and transport infrastructure. One of the project's most important tasks is to monitor the implementation of the People's Program.
