Petition calls for the dismissal of the school principal where a salmonella outbreak occurred
Parents of children from a school in Újezd nad Lesy, where a salmonella outbreak occurred, are petitioning for the dismissal of the school's director, Libor Skala. They claim he failed to manage the school and cafeteria during and after the outbreak. Skala has considered resigning but aims to stabilize the school first. The outbreak has affected over 490 individuals, with around 290 confirmed cases. The petitioners argue that Skala did not ensure proper management of the cafeteria, especially after the departure of experienced staff. The mayor stated that Skala cannot be dismissed until investigations are concluded. The salmonella outbreak was linked to improperly cooked eggs served on September 21, leading to health issues for many students and staff.
