West Bandung Regency Reports Closure of SDN Classrooms by Claimant Heir to Police, Here are the Regency's Steps
The West Bandung Regency government has officially reported the incident of partial closure of classrooms at SDN Bunisari in Gadobangkong Village, Ngamprah District, to the police. The report was made due to suspected damage to educational facilities that are assets of the West Bandung Regency.
“We have reported this fencing action to the Cimahi Police Resort last Wednesday. It is not just about fencing, but the plaintiff has also damaged school facilities,” said Acting Head of the West Bandung Regency Education Office, Asep Dendih, when confirmed on Saturday (11/4/2026).
As known, access to eight classrooms and the teachers’ room at the back of SDN Bunisari was blocked using concrete decking by a party claiming to be the heir. As a result, those classrooms cannot be used for teaching and learning activities for SDN Bunisari students.
Asep admitted to being very concerned and regretting the school land fencing incident. This incident has a negative impact on the school, where teaching and learning activities are disrupted. Psychologically, it also causes concern for the school principal, teachers, students, and parents.
“What we regret more is that while the plaintiff is appealing the PTUN decision, they are carrying out fencing and damaging educational facilities. In principle, we respect the plaintiff’s right to appeal. Because that is the right of every citizen, but again, what we regret is that during the ongoing legal process, they are doing something that is against the law,” said Asep Dendih.
He said that with the closure of access to the back building classrooms, SDN Bunisari students must learn in two shifts. For grades 1-3, it is from 07:30 WIB until finished, and for grades 4-6, it starts at 12:30 WIB until finished. There are about 456 students at SDN Bunisari in total.
This policy is implemented so that students still get their learning rights even though they have to alternate classrooms. “Our focus now is how the children can still learn, and alhamdulillah, learning is not disrupted even though now some are in the morning and some in the afternoon,” said Asep Dendih.
