Residents of Volzhsky complained about the disruption of major repairs at their school.

In Volzhsky, the renovation of a secondary school has been missed: work began in late 2023 and was supposed to be completed by March 2025, but classes are still not being held at the school.

Parents of students at the school in Volzhsky recorded a video message to the city administration, demanding a specific timeline for the school's renovation. They are demanding a date when their children, temporarily transferred to other institutions, will be able to resume their education at their school.

The video message was published by the "Typical Volzhsky" Telegram channel, which has over 4,000 subscribers. By 6:40 a.m. Moscow time, the post had garnered more than 800 views.

"Dear representatives of the Volzhsky administration, we, the parents of children studying at Secondary School No. 13, are contacting you regarding the following situation. Our school was closed three years ago for renovations. All students were assigned to other schools. We have a written response from the Education Committee stating that our children will be studying at two other schools during the renovations at School No. 13," the man says in the video.

The parents say they were understanding about the situation, but it's the third academic year, and the children are being forced to study not at their school, but at another building temporarily provided to them while their own school is undergoing renovations.

"However, we have been informed that the elementary school building will be closed for renovations as of February 1st, and all our children will be reassigned to other schools. In this regard, we ask for official and transparent information about "The current status of School No. 13's renovations, the announcement of specific deadlines for completion and the school's reopening, and the possibility of providing a stable educational environment for our children without yet another reassignment to other schools," the children's parents say.

In their appeal, the parents asked for the protection of their children's rights. "We are not opposed to renovations and safety measures; we advocate for responsibility, planning, and respect for children and parents. We ask that you hear us and make a decision as soon as possible," they concluded.

According to the authors of the appeal, in the summer of 2025, when they came to assess the progress of the main school's renovations, "there were no renovations as such."

"We were promised that the renovations at our school would be completed in December 2025 and that we could safely move in next year. It's now 2026, and the school is still undergoing renovations. Our other school is also being closed, and the schools we're offered are far from our neighborhood. How will our young children get there? We ask you to take action," the woman complains.

Later, the parents of School No. 13 students met with representatives of the education department, but the dialogue yielded no results. As a result, they recorded a new video message – this time with a request to Alexander Bastrykin, the Telegram channel reports.

In the message, the parents asked that their children be allowed to attend the temporary school until the end of the school year and that the children not be reassigned again.

"Kavkazsky Uzel" also reported that residents of the Volgograd village were dissatisfied with the results of the elementary school enrollment, whose homes were excluded from the new school's grounds.
