On the run-up to decisions in the school case in Innlandet, the debate has hardened, after the mayor of Lom, Kristian Frisvold from Bygdalista (BL), in a municipal council meeting on Monday, encouraged people to find “shit” on county council politicians. – We don’t need to be factual anymore, we can go after the person. It means that everything is legal, that is my conclusion on such behaviour, said Frisvold in the meeting. His statements met with opposition from other parties in the municipal council. Both group leader in Lomlista, Kjell Brandsar, and group leader for Lom Senterparti, Magnus Bø, both distanced themselves from the statements. His co-representatives in Bygdalista in Lom do the same. – Mayor Kristian Frisvold himself must answer for the choice of words he chose to use in yesterday’s municipal council meeting, in connection with Lom’s situation around the school structure change, and personal attacks on the county politicians. – We the members of Bygdalista were all completely unprepared for what came from the mayor, it appears in a press release from Trond Volden, Bygdalista in Lom. It also received opposition from several county council politicians. Stands by what has been said Tuesday morning, Mayor Frisvold is a guest in Politisk kvarter. There he is clear that he still stands by what he said during the meeting. He denies that he encouraged anything illegal. – I will use all legal means to stop this, and it is nothing but legal means that I called for, says Frisvold. He believes that the school structure issue has been decided in advance. – There has been no real consultation, they do not take into account any of what they receive. It is flatly rejected by group leader for Innlandet Høre, Joakim Ekseth: – The matter is absolutely not predetermined. We have had a long process and listened to the input that has come. The prompts pretty much say something needs to be done, just don’t do anything here. It helps us little when we have to make an overall assessment for the best for the Inland in the future. The student council leader at Dokka upper secondary school commented on the statement of the mayor of Lom, Kristian Frysvold, who said he should look for crap on county council politicians. The majority agrees in advance Tomorrow, Wednesday 23 October, the county council in Innlandet will finalize the matter of a new school and offer structure for the upper secondary schools. A total of six schools and school sites are proposed to be closed, in addition to several lines. There have been several torchlight processions for schools threatened with closure.

Photo: Stine Bækkelien / news On Sunday 13 October, it became clear that the majority on the county council, which is the Labor Party, MDG and the Conservative Party, had agreed on a new structure. They agreed to close two schools and four school sites, with some changes from the administration’s proposal. They agreed to close the following schools and schools: Skarnes secondary school Dokka secondary school Skolested Dombås, Nord-Gudbrandsdal secondary school Skolested Lom, Nord-Gudbrandsdal secondary school Skolested Flisa, Solør secondary school Skolested Sønsterud, Solør secondary school. The entire offer at the Sønsterud school site will be moved to the Våler school site at Solør upper secondary school. In addition, a number of educational offers will be moved or discontinued. We explain the school case in Innlandet The background for the school closures is that there are already over 2,000 vacant school places in the county. In addition, the county council expects that there will be 3,000 fewer pupils by 2038. This entails both little predictability for pupils and teachers, and at the same time less income from the State, according to the county council. Demonstrations on Tuesday In advance, several agencies announced that they would carry out demonstrations on Tuesday. The Education Association in Innlandet withdraws several of its members in a political demonstration strike between 13.00 and 14.00. The background is both the proposal for school closures and funding in the schools, which they believe is completely at breaking point. In addition, businesses in both Lom and Skjåk municipalities have announced that they will close on Tuesday, according to Fjuken. Several businesses in Flisa are also planning to close down, according to the Facebook group “Save Solør high school dept. Flisa and Sønsterud!”.
