Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

Roșietici Gymnasium in Florești district, which serves 206 pupils from six villages and recently marked 50 years since its founding, has involved parents, pupils and teachers in school decisions since 2016 through the “My School” project, according to its head, Victoria Podubnîi.

Since 2016, public hearings, involvement forms and an administrative board of parents, pupils, teachers, a local authority representative and the school accountant have shaped priorities. Podubnîi says the budget had previously been discussed only superficially. Pupil Nina Falca learned how the budget is divided, while board chair Angela Podubnîi, in the post for four years, says parents now feel part of the school.

The school has repaired its exterior and interior, the festivities hall, the sports hall and changing rooms, and installed new sanitary facilities, using project funds, the school budget and local and district support. This year it plans to renovate the canteen kitchen, with MDL 240,000 from the school budget and MDL 100,000 from the district council for sewerage and water supply works. The material was produced under a project implemented by the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” with World Bank support.
