Question 13295 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Julien Guibert alerts the Minister of National Education on the methods of communication of school cards and on the requirements of transparency and loyalty in the information of elected officials and citizens. In several departments, academic authorities have recently announced the overall volume of creations and deletions of positions or classes, limiting themselves to an aggregated presentation of resources by territory. departmental. On the other hand, the precise breakdown of these decisions - school by school, municipality by municipality - is not made public at the same time and is subject to postponement of communication without a clearly established timetable. This situation places mayors, educational teams and families in uncertainty that is detrimental to preparing for the start of the school year. It complicates the organization of services relating to local authorities, whether it concerns school transport, catering, after-school care or even the planning of possible works. It also weakens the visibility of municipalities, particularly rural ones, for which the evolution of school enrollment constitutes a determining issue for the attractiveness and maintenance of local public services. Several local actors report an assumed gap in the distribution of detailed school maps, explicitly linked to the proximity of the municipal elections scheduled for March 2026. The choice to postpone the communication of decisions that have nevertheless been made, even though their concrete consequences are known to the administration, appears likely to alter the quality of local democratic debate and to deprive citizens of complete information on arbitrations directly affecting their common. Such a change in the calendar, when motivated by the prospect of an electoral deadline, raises a serious question with regard to the principle of State neutrality and the duty of loyalty in relations between the administration, local elected officials and citizens. It seems difficult to reconcile with the requirements of administrative transparency and sincerity of public information, which must prevail independently of any electoral consideration. Under these conditions, he asks if instructions have been given to postpone the publication of detailed school maps due to the proximity of the municipal elections of March 2026; on what legal basis could such a postponement be justified even though the school map decisions have been made; how the Government intends to guarantee compliance with principle of neutrality and loyalty in the communication of decisions relating to the organization of the public education service; finally, if it intends to provide for the systematic, complete and immediate publication of detailed school maps, in order to ensure administrative transparency and allow elected officials and families to have clear and complete information.
