On the occasion of discussing the general situation ⟦...⟧ of the Hadiya Munshi Saleh School, I submit some information regarding this school for the Council's review. 1 - This school was established around the year 1929. 2 - The late Munshi Saleh endowed his two properties numbered 50 and 52 / 139 located in the Al-Tawrat neighborhood to be used as headquarters for the aforementioned school in the year 1938. 3 - This school is managed by the Ministry of Education, which pays the administrative costs. This school includes fifteen classes in which five hundred and twenty female students study (including twelve Muslim female students from among the relatives of the teaching staff). 4 - The Community pays the salaries of two religion teachers from the revenue of eight shops attached to the school whose annual rent amounts to (240/-) dinars, and an annual deficit usually occurs in the salary budget amounting to 30/- dinars. 5 - It has cost the Community the restoration of this school from time to time (about 3500/- dinars) (from 27 / 12 / 1948 to 31 / 1 / 1950) noting that the family of the late Munshi Saleh previously used to cover the deficit in the budget of this school (i.e., the religious section only) in addition to the restoration costs. 389/548 dinars have been spent to date from the Community fund for the account of this school and this amount was recorded as a debt on the mentioned school in the hope of being able to recover it from the owner's family. 6 - There was an idea by the wife of the late Munshi Saleh and his brothers to rebuild this school anew according to maps (held by the engineer Mr. Naim Lawi) prepared for this purpose, and preliminary approval from the Ministry of Education was obtained regarding it, as the mentioned engineer informed me. 7 - The current building of the school contains two sections: a newly constructed section containing three classrooms with rooms for administration and sanitary facilities, and an old section prone to collapse containing twelve classrooms. We receive from time to time a warning from the school principal regarding the danger to the safety of the students, and the ground floor classrooms are extremely damp and do not meet the minimum health requirements.
