Two laptops and a Karcher steam cleaner were delivered in September to the 4th Spata Nursery School, donated by Athens International Airport. The donation was requested by the nursery school itself, and the Municipal Committee unanimously approved it at its meeting on Friday 2 October. In the same week that the decision was published on the ‘Diafania’ transparency portal, the Municipality of Spata–Artemida paid for new furniture for secondary schools and new aluminium window frames for schools at both levels. Together with the smaller expenses, the total amount posted between 14 and 16 October for the schools exceeds 80,000 euros.
The donation to the nursery school
In accordance with Municipal Committee Decision 622/2026, the nursery school approached the International Airport, and the company gave a positive response on 7 September. The equipment was received on 18 September. The acceptance was approved by the Municipal Committee, as required by the Local Government Code regarding donations to the Municipality, and the Committee authorised the Mayor to sign the donation agreement.
For a nursery, a steam cleaner is just as practical a gift as computers: carpets, toys and surfaces where children aged 4 to 6 play can be cleaned with steam, without the use of chemicals.
New furniture for lower and upper secondary schools
On 15 October, the Council paid 36,735 euros (€29,625 net and €7,110 VAT) for the supply of furniture to secondary schools. The contractor is TSOUKAS WOOD ART HOME CONSTRUCTION EE, under a direct award (Mayor’s Decision 715/2026) based on Study 94/2026 by the Social Policy Department.
The timeline shows that the process moved quickly once schools reopened: the department’s request was issued in June, the invitation to tender was sent on 24 September, the contract was signed on 5 October and the department confirmed delivery the following day, on 6 October.
Aluminium window and door frames in schools at both levels
Under a payment order issued on 14 October, 36,022 euros were paid for the supply and fitting of aluminium frames, doors and windows: €18,600 for primary schools and €17,422 for secondary schools. The contractor is the sole trader ALUSHAJ PIRRO SEFER, under a contract dated 16 September and a design (3/2026) by the Attica Development Agency. Proper completion was confirmed on 5 October, meaning the window frames were fitted before the first cold spell, at a time when a window that closes properly makes all the difference in a classroom.
Both major expenditure items – furniture and window frames – were covered by the municipality’s regular revenue.
And the little ones
The same Diafania catalogue also lists smaller items of day-to-day expenditure: 6,193.80 euros for ink, toner, stationery and photocopying paper for schools, €1,701.30 for foreign-language textbooks for secondary schools, as well as a new lock at Spata 2nd Primary School, replacement of a lock at Spata Primary School No. 1 and repairs to its railings, at €62 each.
What we don’t yet know
The purchase orders do not specify which schools received the furniture and window frames. The allocation is set out in studies 94/2026 and 3/2026, which are not included in the Diafania documents. If your child’s school has received new desks or windows in recent weeks, please write to us so that we can update the list.
