The Limbazi municipality council faced significant backlash from parents and grandparents protesting against the proposed reorganization of local music and arts schools. After a two-and-a-half-hour discussion, the council decided to create two professional education institutions instead of one as originally intended. This decision was influenced by the overwhelming public sentiment expressed during the protests, highlighting the importance of community involvement in educational planning.

The reorganization plan will result in two new institutions: one in Limbazi, which includes the Aloja Music and Arts School, and another in Salacgriva that will merge the Music and Arts School with the Janis Zirnis Staicele Music and Arts School. The council's initial plan aimed to streamline resources in response to declining student numbers and concerning demographic trends, yet the community's voices have had a significant impact on the final outcome.

Municipality council leader Sigita Upmale emphasized that the intent behind the reorganization is administrative efficiency rather than a reduction in educational offerings. However, the reversal on the decision indicates a shift towards increased sensitivity to public opinion and suggests that local governments may need to take community feedback more seriously in future decisions concerning educational reforms.
