The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, announced the hiring of 550 psychologists to work in state schools, in addition to 1,000 security guards from private security companies who will work in the unarmed units. R$ 240 million will be invested in these hirings. The announcement was made today (13) at a press conference, together with the State Secretary for Education, Renato Feder, and the Secretary for Security, Guilherme Derrite, at the Thomazia Montoro State School, where an attack took place that left a teacher dead and four injured. . “The measures that are being taken are based on the research we carried out with the professionals themselves. We heard tens of thousands of teachers. We had 25,000 respondents to a survey that was carried out by the Department of Education. First point, mental health. We are going to hire 550 psychologists, so that a professional works in at least 10 schools, and can make at least one visit per week in each school”, said the governor. Regarding hiring private security guards instead of placing police officers in schools, the governor said that the objective is for the security guard to be in that unit every day and not on alternate days. “We want to create a bond, that he starts looking at the student, that he knows the student by name, that he is there to receive, that he is at the exit, that he is in the courtyard, that he suddenly realize that the student has a problem.” According to the governor, the guards will be placed in schools considered the most vulnerable by the government. “The criterion [de vulnerabilidade] it has to do with crime around the school, so we will get this data from security and also data from Placon [plataforma para registro de ocorrências escolares na rede estadual de ensino], of fights in schools, of violence in schools. So the schools that need it the most are the ones that will receive these thousand [profissionais]. If we need more security, we will hire more security”, said the Secretary of Education. Regarding psychologists, the Secretary of Education announced that the bidding process for this hiring is in progress and the contract will be for 30 months. “We are hiring 550 psychologists so that all 5,000 schools can have weekly visits from psychologists”, said Feder, adding that in addition to this specialist professional, teachers are also being trained for the initial reception of students. “The psychologist is a specialist. The first mental health service, the welcome you need in schools is given by the coexistence teacher, today there are 500. We are already training another 1,800 and we are going to reach 5,000. So in all schools we will have a teacher trained to have a welcoming look at mental health”. Still within public policies aimed at safety in schools, there is the possibility of denouncing through an app and strengthening policing and the School Ronda. “The 190 app gains an extra feature, which is a feature aimed at school safety. Using this application, you will be able to report immediately the occurrence of a problem, pressing a button and we will have that georeferenced information. This goes to the police operations center for us to assign the closest vehicle to that school, without bureaucracy, without going through the 190 service”, said the governor. The governor also mentioned an increase in bonuses and in the number of police officers in schools, from 200 professionals to 800: “that partnership between the Department of Education and Public Security, that bonus for the military that is on leave to increase, to reinforce, the school security and, at the same time, we will reinforce school security with our personnel. So, the school patrol will be reinforced, we will have more patrols, we will have other units engaging in school patrols, visiting the perimeter, being gift.” Suspension of classes The governor reported that he received requests from mayors for the suspension of classes and that the response was negative. According to him, one cannot succumb to threats and violence. “This is the best period of life and we will not allow that this is subtracted from our young people. They deserve to have this coexistence, they deserve to have this noise here every day, they deserve to have the best future they deserve to have tools because the school will give them the skills to have a better future and we will not rest until you provide that.” Questioned about rumors of attacks later this month, the governor said that he is monitoring the situation and that there will be a major operation to guarantee security and “everything will proceed as absolutely normal.” brutal policing on the 20th, so it’s not going to happen, we’re not going to allow it, we’re going to guarantee security. These are people who are trying to impose terrorism there, impose violence, I don’t know for what purpose. It would be very interesting, and then I thought I add to what the Minister of Justice has already said, in the sense that an effort must also be made by social network companies, they cannot allow this to happen freely.” He advised people to denounce the dissemination of rumors “because this will help the intelligence service to approach, to identify who is doing this, who is preaching this type of terror and we are going to arrest these people.” Security Secretary, Guilherme Derrite, informed that yesterday an 18-year-old man was indicted who was disseminating and propagating this type of messages. , which is the police station specialized in cybercrime, is working a lot and it is important for us to emphasize that there is a strong intelligence work that is being monitored”.
