I have read the question and answers about the "-continued" heading. The code given in the answers doesn't help me. Thats why I am posting a follow-up-question here.
I want to re-display the section-titles, but I am using a longtable. (I need to write a document, which consists only of longtables. And I really need the section-titles to reappear. Using a headline does not work in my case.)
I have a longtable over (at least) two pages. And I want to re-display the current section-title. My problem is, that the longtable is continued in the same line as the re-displayed section-title. Here is the latex-code I am using:

As you can see, LaTeX starts the second part of the longtable in the title-continued line:
Unfortunately I don't know LaTeX well enough to solve the problem. Can someone help me, please?
(I already looked at answers to these similiar questions:
Re-displaying section headings after page-breaks
How to generate a "<section> continued" heading after page-break?

font changes ...\thesection~section (continued)before\endhead– Ulrike Fischer May 26 '14 at 16:22I try to explain, what I want to do. It is a bit complicated, so I will choose a different but similiar example. Say, I want to display a lot of data about school-classes (e.g. name of teacher, number of students) for a lot of schools. (It is so much data for a class, that I must use the longtable-environment.) Since longtables cant be nested, I decided to use the section-title for the school and longtables for the school-classes. I hope, this explains what I want to do.
