“They were big stones, the size of an adult’s fist, and pine nuts. Last Friday, Jean-Charles * was giving a handball lesson on the sports ground of the Jules-Ferry college, located in the heart of the sensitive city of Campagne-Lévêque in the northern districts of Marseille, when he and his students were there. target of stone throwing, coming from outside the establishment. “I was in the process of giving back to my students what they had just done, he explains to 20 Minutes. I suddenly heard a noise on the gates. It was around 2:50 p.m. And behind the cypress hedge, I saw them. There were three or four of them. I immediately called the management, who saw the facts. Two teenagers, camouflaged in their sweatshirts so that their faces cannot be seen, then managed to enter the college. One was in gray, the other in black. And they ducked us with these stones, it lasted twenty-five minutes. “

And to add: “I evacuated the pupils to put them in safety, a little further, on another ground, before having to take them to school life. But the intrusion alert was not triggered… ”. “The intrusion alert works, but it has not been given … we confirm on the side of the rectorate. The two sports facilities have since been closed. “

“It had already happened”

“It had already happened in March,” annoys Jean-Charles. One of our colleagues from EPS had already been the victim of projectile throws. And an executive assistant received a stone on her head, which required five stitches! This Monday and Tuesday, the teachers of this college asked to assert their right of withdrawal … refused however by their hierarchy. “The right of withdrawal is granted in the event of serious and imminent danger,” the rectorate is justified. We did not recognize him in this case because the two sports arenas were closed. “

And to add: “a police patrol has been requested and the repair of two broken down surveillance cameras, out of the ten in the establishment, is scheduled for the end of the week. A meeting with the head of the school will be organized. “Contacted, the departmental council did not respond to our requests at the time of this writing.
