With the withdrawal of the lawsuit that the previous administration had filed, which hindered the project for the construction of the new headquarters of the Social Center on land located on Sirivana Road, the possibilities of having school classrooms again are open.
As reported at the time Boyacá Sie7e Días, The primary students of the Yopal Social Center were evicted at the end of the 2023 work from the headquarters where they received classes, because a lawsuit was lost in the judicial courts that forced them to leave the classrooms that their parents had built to hand them over to a Catholic religious congregation.
Faced with the imminence of losing the student headquarters, the parents managed resources from the national, departmental and municipal order, for a value close to 40,000 million pesos, to build the buildings on a plot of land adjacent to the Police station, property of the municipality, a situation that the past mayor opposed because he considered that the use of the land did not correspond to the destination they wanted to give it and because it bordered the Police barracks; To do this, he filed a lawsuit that the parents, teachers and students ultimately lost.
The current municipal administration filed the withdrawal of the lawsuit, arguing that the general interest should take precedence over the individual, since it is a school project that will benefit nearly 2,000 students.
Then, a draft agreement is processed by the Planning Office that must be studied by the Municipal Council, in order to change the land use of the property to convert it to institutional use. Once the project is approved, another will be processed that allows the construction of educational infrastructure on the property next to the Police, on which parents, teachers and students agree.
Additionally, the Government of Casanare committed to preparing the studies and designs that would reveal the final cost of this large educational infrastructure project.
It should be noted that all procedures must be reviewed and approved by the Ministry’s Educational Infrastructure Financial Fund, an entity with which three work groups have already been held in Yopal.
