The school was informed in March that one of his eleven clbades would probably close in September, with the beginning of the new course, after a slight drop in enrollments, from 266 to 261 students.

This Tuesday morning, a farmer from the region entered the school with about fifty sheep and his dog. Fifteen of them (with their birth certificate in good standing) were enrolled in the presence of students, parents and teachers.

Gaëlle Laval, a member of an badociation of parents and one of the organizers of the initiative, said: "Here there are children in difficulties, but the national education does not care arguments on the ground, but only numbers ".

"With that, the closing of the clbad should not take place," smiles Laval, who admitted "playing with humor to mobilize people" and avoid a real "disaster" in this school, in which the mayor of the locality has invested heavily in recent years.

Parents of students also pointed out that with a closed clbad, the other smaller ones would have a big overload of children at the beginning of the clbades from the 2019-2020 school year, to fall (boreal).
