MeterSometimes, the living environment of citizens is closely related to the formation of political will. Personal experience may have played a role in the focus of Hochtaunus regional council groups calling for classes in school rather than at home. “Face-to-face teaching must be done as much as possible,” Patricia Peverin (Green Party) urged for the next school year. Katja Adler (FDP) recalled the survey results, according to which Distance Learning Using a computer on the desk at home is as effective as vacationing. “That’s why we must protect the children in the regular curriculum.”
Hochtaunuskreis should ensure that even if the number of cases increases, classroom teaching for as long as possible is possible, the Green Party makes in the application. “Soon there will be a vacation after the end of the school year with special stress,” Peveling said. “Now the district must do homework.” In addition to other preventive measures, the Green Party also hopes to have air purification equipment.This Liberal Democratic Party Going further in the revision request, and hope to instruct the district committee to renovate all classrooms with mobile air purifiers and apply for funds as soon as possible. Adler said it is impossible for children to go back to school wearing thick sweaters and blankets in winter.
Check atmospheric researcher
Not only does the Green Party hope to obtain information from the results of model tests in three schools in Bad Homburg and Königstein, these schools were equipped with air purifiers in December. Since then, atmospheric researchers at the Goethe University in Frankfurt have been using weekly measurements to check whether cleaning performance has changed. Last year, they caused a sensation in a study, according to the study, if you operate such equipment in a classroom, half an hour later, the risk of Sars-CoV-2 virus aerosol infection can be reduced by 90%.
Model testing will continue until the end of the school year, and then reports will be available in two to three weeks, Joachim Curtius of the Institute of Atmospheric and Environmental Research said on request. But the mid-term results confirmed the researchers’ hypothesis: “The cleaning performance remains the same and will not deteriorate.” Some air purifiers have run for 1,400 hours. “They are working well,” Curtius summed up the preliminary evaluation results he presented at a recent expert seminar.
The assessment has not yet been provided to members of Congress at district council meetings. “We also want to ensure classroom teaching,” Yannick Dreyer (CDU). These recommendations should be discussed in the technical committee. Due to the urgency, the alliance did not want to wait until the next round of regular meetings, but held a special meeting of the main financial and digital committee during the summer vacation. Ileana Vogel (AfD) wondered whether the relatively simple ventilation system built by the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry in Mainz was suitable for use.

Early service for young families
green It took over applications from the CDU, the Social Democratic Party, and the Free Voters League, which broke down their problems in more detail. Annette Hogg (CDU) stated that school districts should report state-sponsored learning camp experiences with state education authorities. But outside of school, they also want to know whether psychological problems have increased and whether the social service department is aware of the increasing number of cases of sexual violence and domestic violence. The early services provided to young families should not be forgotten.
The report should also include the status of women’s shelters. “We need to hold several committee meetings for this,” Hogg said.
