J. Olekas informed journalists in the Seimas parliament on Monday that an agreement has not yet been reached with the Mayor of Trakai, Andrius Šapevičus, or the governing majority within the council regarding the matter. Olekas stated, “I believe that the municipality could solve the issue of that school, because all the legal grounds for that are.”
The context of the discussion relates to the status of a local educational institution.
In late July, the Polish embassy in Vilnius posted on its Facebook social media page regarding Renata Krasowska. Krasowska, who had served as the director of the Longino Komolovskyi Gymnasium in Paluknio for five years, was reportedly leaving her post. The reason cited was that the school had lost its autonomy following a restructuring decision made by the Trakai district administration.
The comments from Olekas suggest that the local government body may possess the authority to resolve the educational institution’s status. The involvement of the Polish embassy highlights the international attention surrounding this local governance issue. The inability to secure a commitment from the mayor and the council majority indicates ongoing challenges in resolving the school’s autonomy and operational status within the Trakai municipality.
