School accused of misusing facilities

BOGOR: Hundreds of parents of students of Islamic elementary
school Al Azhar 27 staged a protest on Tuesday directed at the
school management for using the school building to accommodate
students of Al Madina junior high and high school.

Tuesday's protest followed a similar protest on Monday, the
first day of new academic year. Protesting parents kept their
children at home.

The parents have reported Ar Rohman Education Foundation
chairman Agus Sriyanta, who manages the school, to the Bogor
Police for misusing the school development fees for constructing
buildings that are currently being used by students of Al Madina
in the Al Azhar compound.

Al Azhar Islamic Foundation chairman Mahfudh Makmun had
ordered Agus Sriyanta to end the agreement allowing Al Madina to
use the Al Azhar school compound.

The Ar Rohman Foundation executives said the schools would
only use the premises for six months before moving to nearby
buildings. -- JP
