€14M school expansion frozen as Saxony-Anhalt halts fully funded plan
Plans for a €14 million expansion at Ulrich von Hutten Secondary School have been abruptly halted. The freeze follows state restrictions imposed by Saxony-Anhalt, leaving the project in limbo despite extensive planning. Parents and officials are now questioning the decision’s legal and financial implications.
The expansion was fully funded, budgeted, and in advanced planning stages, with external experts already engaged. Scrapping it would waste public money already spent and raise concerns over compliance with budgetary rules. The school’s parent council has sharply criticised the sudden stop, calling the justification unclear and lacking transparency.
The halt contradicts school regulations that mandate adequate learning conditions. With funds already allocated and planning underway, the decision leaves the school’s future uncertain. The parent council continues to demand action, warning that prolonged inaction could further disrupt education for students.
