Mysore/Mysuru: Even as uncertainty continues over re-opening of schools, with the Government yet to decide on the exact date of re-opening in the wake of COVID-19 crisis, city-based CISPMA (CBSE, ICSE and State Board Private School Managements Association) in the five southern districts of Mysuru, Hassan, Mandya, Chamarajanagar and Kodagu, on Wednesday decided to reopen schools only in January only if the Government assures the managements that they will not be held responsible if students contract COVID-19. The decision was taken at the CISPMA meeting held at Jnanasarovar International Residential School here yesterday.
CISPMA President Sudhakar S. Shetty said that Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar addressed the meeting virtually from Bengaluru, during which he assured the association members of attending to the grievances of private schools. The Minister also appealed the school managements to join hands with the Government in the interests of the students at this critical juncture, he added.
