The MGN unanimously agrees to urge the Ministry to allow sports monitors to maintain their activity in schools

Otherwise it is requested that, at least, they can exercise their work in the centers during recess

The rest of the day until reaching 37.5 hours per week will be made in municipal sports facilities 

The General Negotiating Board (MGN), which includes the administration and workers' representatives, has unanimously agreed to urge the Ministry of Education to allow the City Council's sports monitors to continue operating in schools as they have been doing so until the last academic year 2016/2017. Otherwise, it is claimed that at least "a minimum stay of 1.5 hours, using the recess" is established to ensure the continuity of the School Sports Games.

The mayor, Toni Pérez, explained that the MGN has met to raise and seek solutions to the situation that has been generated by the requirement of the Ministry by which sports monitors can not attend schools during school hours. A guideline that conditions the task that these monitors were doing in schools, as well as the planning and development of their working day, which has been guaranteed that will continue to be 37.5 hours a week.

City Council and trade unions have agreed that until the response of the Ministry of Sport "perform their functions, until completing all the hours played so far in schools, in municipal sports facilities," carrying out "the activities that are established by the Department of Sports ".

Pérez said that "if the Conselleria persists in its refusal, the trade union centers have agreed that all the hours that the monitors do not cover their weekly work will be engaged in new sports activities."

The mayor stressed that "from the start we have worked and discussed with the Ministry to try to ensure the school activity of the sports monitors, because we are aware of the role they play in promoting sports, healthy living and integration among the most little ones".
