Latgale weekly roundup: new school year, border operation and kindergarten concerns
LSM's Latgale desk has compiled the region's main news of the week — the start of the school year, an extended border security operation, and Rēzekne parents' worries over their kindergarten's future.
LSM's Latgale editorial team has put together its regular weekly roundup, summarising the most notable developments in the region over the past few days.
New school year begins
As across Latvia, the new school year has started in Latgale. Pupils, parents and teachers in the region have entered the familiar autumn routine, and the roundup looks at how the start of classes unfolded locally.
Border security operation extended
A special operation is continuing along the country's eastern border. According to the editorial team, it has been extended until 3 October. No further details of the operation are given in the roundup.
Parents' concerns in Rēzekne
Parents of children attending a kindergarten in Rēzekne have expressed concern about the institution's future. The roundup notes that parents are worried about what will happen to the kindergarten going forward, though it does not specify the underlying reasons.
The overview forms part of LSM's regular Latgale weekly digest, which brings together the region's most relevant news — from education and security matters to everyday concerns of local residents. Fuller coverage of each topic is expected in separate reports.
