Bernburg/Staßfurt. Kay Lorenz remains chair of the district parents’ council in the Salzlandkreis. The father of a child at Beesenlaublingen Primary School was re-elected to this honorary post by the parent representatives of all schools in the Salzlandkreis during the regular election held a few days ago. He has been chair of the parents’ representatives in the Salzlandkreis since 2019. The new deputy chair is Sarah Lemsch, mother of a child at Am Prinzeßchen Primary School in Barby. The election took place at Am Tierpark Secondary School in Staßfurt. The 50 members and substitute members are elected every two years.
The task of the district parents' council is to represent the interests of parents and pupils. In this respect, the council represents the link between schools, pupils, parents, school authorities, the state parents' council and the Ministry of Education. The council works on problems and issues that are of importance to the schools and forwards them to the relevant bodies for processing.
Anke Meyer, head of the education department at the Salzland district, congratulates on the election. She assumes that the previous trusting cooperation with the Salzland district as the school authority will continue. "It is important that we remain in dialogue at all times. That way, problems can be solved before they become too big."
Meanwhile, Lucienne Balke was elected as the new student representative in the Salzland district. She is a pupil at the Stephaneum grammar school in Aschersleben. The new deputy chairperson is Ellie Mertens from the Adam Olearius Free Community School in Aschersleben. Both pupils are also involved in the state pupil council. The election of the district pupil council also took place a few days ago at the Am Tierpark secondary school in Staßfurt. The council consists of 32 members and substitute members.
The district pupil council represents the interests of the pupils and discusses all issues of particular importance in this context. It can submit proposals to the school authorities and take a stand on these issues. Head of Department Anke Meyer also congratulates the elected members on their election and wishes them every success.
The results of the elections for the district parents' council and the district pupils' council are published on the Salzlandkreis homepage and in the official gazette.
