Overview

• AfD leader Tino Chrupalla and a local entrepreneur each contributed €2,000 to cover the Fürst-Pückler-Grundschule’s gap for full-day activities.
• Saxony’s education ministry confirms funding for Ganztagsangebote fell from about €45 million to €35 million this year and is projected at €33 million next year.
• Officials state political, religious and ideological organisations may not donate to schools, but private individuals may do so under current rules.
• Because the school has no support association, the money was transferred to the city in its role as the school authority.
• Left party education spokesperson Luise Neuhaus-Wartenberg urged rejection of the funds, while Mayor Thomas Krahl supports accepting them, and the city council has the final say.
