On the 14th, Superintendent Mitsuru Odashima announced that the Kawasaki city elementary school’s pool has been flooded with protests against the city’s Board of Education, which has demanded approximately 950,000 yen in compensation from male teachers due to a mistake in turning off the water at a municipal elementary school pool. It was revealed that about 40% of the 162 municipal schools using water injection equipment did not have operating manuals for the water injection equipment.
Superintendent of Education Mitsuru Odashima responds to the incident regarding the pool water spill at Kawasaki City Elementary School at Kawasaki City Hall.
Reply to Councilor Ichikojiro (Communist Party) in question from the City Council representative. Mr. Ichifuru pointed out that the instructions on how to operate the water injection device were not thoroughly explained at municipal schools. Mr. Odashima said that a survey conducted in response to this mistake found that about 40% of schools did not have operating manuals, and that “the Board of Education did not pay enough attention to preventing outbreaks.” The city board of education accepted responsibility. In some cases, faculty and staff were handing over information verbally, or operating the system while looking at the display on the control panel.
According to Ichifuru, the school where the mistake occurred did not have an operating manual, only a photo of the device with a simple warning written in it in the machine room.
Odashima said, “Taking into consideration that the administration did not give sufficient consideration to preventing damage, we have requested (the teachers) to pay 50% of the damages.” (Koko Hojo)
