“The school is now being furnished and equipped with all the facilities needed by the children and young people,” starosta Tomasz Gabrysiak said. “The development of the area around the school, planting greenery and, above all, renovating the building’s façade are works that we decided to add to the basic scope of the project. This was made possible by the grant we managed to obtain from the INTERREG Poland–Saxony Cooperation Programme.”
The redevelopment of the building at 8 Bankowa Street in Bolesławiec began in 2018. Its value was estimated at PLN 1,790,000. Powiat Bolesławiecki, as the body responsible for the Powiatowy Zespół Szkół i Placówek Specjalnych in Bolesławiec, received funding for the investment through a partnership with the German Powiat Bautzen, as part of the “Expansion of the Cross-Border Educational Offer of Bolesławiec and Bautzen” project. The funding, amounting to EUR 402,000, comes from the INTERREG POLAND–SAXONY 2014–2020 Cooperation Programme. The total cost of redeveloping the school was PLN 6,100,000.
In addition to classrooms, the school will have a kitchen with a dining room, rooms for various therapies, including sensory therapy, comprehensive sanitary facilities, a gymnasium and two lifts. Outside, there will be a safe playground and a sports field.
