Fabienne Buccio, prefect of the Auvergne Rhone Alpes region in southeast-central France, announced the termination of three agreements between the state and the Al-Kindi school group in Decines-Charpieu, a commune in the region of Lyon in southeastern France.
Authorities said the agreements were terminated on the grounds that Al-Kindi allegedly violated administrative, pedagogical and “republican" values.
The Al-Kindi school group, which includes elementary, middle and high schools, serves approximately 620 students.
The move has raised concerns over its potential impact on the community.
