Quick Summary
The Prefeitura de Boa Vista has officially started maintenance services across more than 80 units of the Municipal Education Network. This large-scale operation targets urban, rural, and indigenous schools to ensure they are fully prepared for the upcoming academic year. The project is being managed by the Secretaria Municipal de Educação e Cultura (SMEC) and is scheduled to run through the school holiday period until January 30, 2026.
Technical teams have already conducted surveys to identify specific structural needs for each facility. The first school to undergo repairs was the Escola Municipal Maria de Fátima Faria Andrade in the Centenário neighborhood. The initiative covers a wide range of repairs, from roof replacements to electrical modernization, with the ultimate goal of providing safe and functional environments for students and staff when classes resume on February 2, 2026.
Project Scope and Timeline
The maintenance initiative was launched to address structural needs identified prior to the start of the new academic year. The Prefeitura de Boa Vista confirmed that the services are being executed during the school holidays to minimize disruption to the educational process. The timeline for these specific interventions extends until January 30, 2026, ensuring that facilities are ready well before the scheduled start of classes on February 2, 2026.
The first unit to receive attention was the Escola Municipal Maria de Fátima Faria Andrade, located in the Centenário district. This facility served as the starting point for the broader campaign that covers schools in urban areas, the countryside, and indigenous territories. The objective is to guarantee that all institutions are in adequate structural condition to welcome students, teachers, and pedagogical teams.
"Nas escolas do campo e indígenas, as intervenções respeitam as particularidades de cada comunidade, assegurando funcionalidade, segurança e conforto. As demais unidades da rede municipal passarão pelos serviços de manutenção ao longo do ano de 2026, reforçando o compromisso da Prefeitura de Boa Vista com a valorização da educação, a melhoria contínua da infraestrutura escolar e a oferta de ambientes adequados para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem."— Lincoln Oliveira, Municipal Secretary of Education and Culture
Technical Planning and Strategy
Operations are being coordinated by the Secretaria Municipal de Educação e Cultura (SMEC). The approach is data-driven, relying on a detailed technical survey conducted by specialized engineering and maintenance teams. These surveys identified the specific requirements of each school unit, allowing for targeted interventions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Lincoln Oliveira, the Municipal Secretary of Education and Culture, highlighted the tailored nature of the repairs. He stated that interventions in rural and indigenous schools respect the particularities of each community, ensuring functionality, safety, and comfort. The Secretary also noted that remaining units in the municipal network will undergo maintenance services throughout the year 2026, reinforcing the city's commitment to continuous infrastructure improvement.

The maintenance services encompass a comprehensive list of structural and functional upgrades. The SMEC has authorized a variety of repairs designed to modernize and secure the school environments.

Specific works include:
- Maintenance and replacement of roofs and coverings
