Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder published an update on public education infrastructure at 12:43:29 p.m.: 214 of 338 sites reported earthquake impacts. That wording does not mean they were destroyed.
214 sites reported impacts
The count covers Cali’s public education sites. It separates reports of impacts from technical conclusions about habitability.
99 evaluations and 63 habitable sites
Among the sites evaluated, 63 were considered habitable. The post does not detail the status of the other 36 evaluated sites and does not establish that all are uninhabitable.
An August 24 target
The 63 habitable sites are being prepared to receive students on August 24. The announcement does not apply that date to all 338 public sites.
Several ways to continue classes
Depending on the site, the city plans in-person or remote classes or printed worksheets. The school meal programme is to continue.
