Classes at the SESI Professor Quita Guimarães School in Montes Claros have resumed on Monday, October 23, 2023, following a period of closure due to necessary structural renovations. The school was initially closed after the Civil Defense identified serious structural issues that posed risks to the safety of students and staff. This closure highlighted the importance of maintaining safe educational environments in Brazilian schools.

The restoration of activities at the school was confirmed by the Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (Fiemg), which announced that classes could resume after all phases of the structural intervention plan were completed. The decision to reopen came after thorough inspections conducted by the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais, the Civil Defense, and the Fire Department, ensuring that all safety protocols were adhered to during the renovations.

The school's administration stated that the renovations were carried out with responsibility, planning, and technical rigor to ensure that students, teachers, and staff could return to a safe and well-prepared learning environment. This emphasizes how critical it is for education authorities to prioritize infrastructure safety and proper maintenance in schools to foster effective educational experiences for students in the region.
