On April 20, 2023, the council established a right of first refusal on parcels in the northern part of Breeakker. This right of first refusal expires on April 19, 2026.

  • To allocate a grant of €2,944,358 for the expansion of a total of 384 m² for De Stokland Elementary School and the childcare center.
  1. The portion of the investment that relates exclusively to the expansion of educational facilities at De Stokland Elementary School, amounting to €1,724,828, is to be covered by funds set aside in the budget under the Comprehensive Education Facilities Plan 2024–2028.
  2. The additional project investments for De Stokland Elementary School, amounting to €482,150 for initial furnishings—including educational materials, water storage, and temporary housing—are to be charged to the budget balance on a permanent basis.
  3. An amount of €737,380 to be covered by rental income from the childcare center

In the coming years, we will take into account the regional growth spurt, which is expected to lead to an increase in the population—and consequently in the number of students. Following the IHP, a comprehensive study was conducted to explore expansion options in Breugel and Son Zuid. This was followed by a feasibility study, which concluded that expansion is necessary for three elementary schools: De Stokland, De Sonnewijzer, and De Harlekijn (proposal to follow). De Sonnewijzer and De Stokland have structurally insufficient space.

  2. to cover the interest expenses on this €67,000 loan by reducing the annual allocation for “improving regional accessibility” in the infrastructure works reserve starting in the 2028 fiscal year;
  3. to incorporate the financial implications into the third budget amendment for 2026;
  4. that all costs arising from the eastern access road of Jansen B.V., the closure of Terraweg to motorized traffic, and other traffic-related measures associated with decisions made by the municipality of Best shall in no way be borne by the municipality of Son en Breugel, even if these measures must be implemented within the territory of the municipality of Son en Breugel.
