Not only meeting the demand for community sports but also protecting users and securing school safety, achieving two goals with one effort

Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has joined hands with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon) to promote residents' health and improve quality of life.

On the 16th, Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, and Cho Hee-yeon, Superintendent of Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, signed a business agreement at Seongbuk-gu Office to promote the pilot project of School Managers. Through the School Manager project, residents will be able to easily engage in sports activities at schools near their homes.

The agreement stipulates that schools open their sports facilities (gymnasiums and playgrounds), and Seongbuk-gu dispatches facility management personnel called ‘School Managers’ to ensure school safety and security.

The main roles of School Managers include ▲ verifying the identity of facility reservation users ▲ controlling access of outsiders during facility use ▲ managing safety in the use of sports facilities ▲ inspecting facilities, among others.

Additionally, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will provide a special incentive of 30 million KRW to pilot schools that open their sports facilities.

The district expects that by hiring School Managers, it will meet the increasing demand for community sports while simultaneously strengthening the protection and safety management of users of school sports facilities.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “I am pleased that this agreement allows us to establish a win-win cooperative system with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. Through the School Manager project, residents will be able to use school sports facilities more safely, which will not only revitalize community sports but also secure school safety, making this very meaningful.”
