fundamental way to build bridges that allow the school year to be recouped and
move forward.

committee to meet and review all legal action arising from teachers' movement,
which in the future will address any discrepancy through dialogue without
interrupting classes or taking actions that harm others.

encourage their development, is a basic tool to teach values, skills and
knowledge, so this return to school reflects the willingness of the authorities
and teachers to improve the educational level of students. "said the Mayor

board of education and libraries, is contributing to monitoring schools to
ensure that the return to school is carried out smoothly.
"My government is committed to supporting young
students. I have confidence that all children of Solidaridad can make the
municipality, the state and the country a better place to live." noted the
Mayor.
He noted that following the policy of the Quintana Roo Governor Roberto
Borge to solidify a higher quality education to students. the government of Solidaridad
is working on the structure of projects which will be carried out starting next
year, for the benefit of students.

the necessary work and beginning next year, we will institute the " Allied
Scholarship " which will bring benefits to all qualified students who
stand out for academic excellence and also support to those who excel in sports
and cultural activities." said Gongora.

operating at one hundred percent to support to those who require them, and he
