Schools in the Municipality of Dirfys–Messapia will hold no in-person lessons on 15 October 2026. Mayor Antonios Spyropoulos issued decision 327/2026 on 14 October, with protocol number 16404 and publication identifier ΡΨΘ1Ω92-ΑΦΙ.

Which facilities are covered

  • All kindergarten and primary schools in the municipality.
  • All lower- and upper-secondary schools in the municipality.
  • The municipal nursery and infant-care facilities.
  • The municipal creative activity centre for people with disabilities (KDAP AmeA).

The decision cites rising river levels, water and debris on roads, and risks to pupils travelling to school as reasons for the suspension.

The decision applies only to today

The document expressly specifies Thursday 15 October. It does not establish a closure throughout Evia or an extension to Friday. Families should follow their own school's instructions about any remote teaching; the municipal decision contains no lesson timetable.
