📋 Tender Overview
The Public Security Commission (CSP) gave favorable opinion on Tuesday (6) to the bill that provides for security measures in educational institutions. The original text has been modified so that the measures are adopted by schools considering the risks and budget of each.
The bill was presented by Senator Mecias de Jesus (Republicans-RR). Initially, the text required the mandatory presence of a security professional, trained and qualified, in all schools. But the rapporteur of the story, Senator Hamilton Mourao (Republicans-RS), presented an alternative text-a substitute-that flexes this requirement.
Flexibility meets a seam by Senator Sergio Moro (Uniao-PR), who advocates the need to respect the specific conditions of each institution.
According to Hamilton Mouraos substitute - which fully assists Sergio Moros amendment - schools should adopt safety measures compatible with risk assessment, structure, budget and operational capacity of each school. These measures may include the installation of metal detectors and the presence of vigilantes during all operation shifts, but without this being an obligation.
Now the bill, which changes, will be analyzed in another Senate Board: the Education and Culture Commission (CE).
Flexibility
By explaining the changes he promoted in the original text, Hamilton Mourao highlighted the importance of flexibility.
- We have from extremely needy colleges to universities with high payment capacity. With this, each one makes his analysis and takes the attitudes he deems best in order to protect the faculty and students - he argued.
Sergio Moro considered the meritorious project and stressed that the final writing solves initial concerns about the viability of its implementation.
- [The proposal] explicitly establishes the duty of protection. It will be up to each educational institution to make a serene assessment of the best security proposals, compatible with its structure, budget and peculiarities - he said.
Managers
Senator Fabiano Contarato (PT-ES) also praised the adjustments to the original text, especially what provides for the removal of devices that could automatically responsible for school managers.
- Often not even library Brazilian schools have. So how can you penalize, objectively, without intent or guilt, the simple fact that a person exercises the management of a school? - Asked.
