In August, the CS Independência is expected to be delivered; in September, the Health Center and the Municipal School in the Parque Aviação neighborhood will be delivered.

In January 2026, it will be the turn of CS Alameda dos Ipês; in February, the EMEI Betânia will be delivered, and in May next year, the CS Jardim Felicidade.

Later this year, construction will begin on 10 new Health Centers.

Structure

Each Municipal School has eleven classrooms, four of which are accessible to wheelchair users, a library, a meeting room, and an activity room. It also includes a cafeteria, kitchen, rest room for children, playground, accessibility lift platform, and changing rooms.

The Health Centers have 17 general consultation rooms, including waiting rooms, triage, procedures, dressing, collection, vaccination, hygiene, multipurpose space, pharmacy, zoonosis area, and administrative sectors. Additionally, there will be a dental office with six chairs for treatment. The goal is to offer complete and integrated facilities to meet various health needs of the community.

In the Social PPP model, the private partner is responsible for the maintenance and administrative activities of the enterprises, while the City Hall, the public partner, provides specialized labor for health activities in the case of health centers, and education in the case of municipal schools.
