(Hagåtña, Guam) – In a letter emailed on Tuesday, Senator Lujan asked Governor Leon Guerrero to declare a State of Emergency for the Guam Department of Education.
“It has become apparent that so many of our public schools are in a terrible state of disrepair with chronic issues creating real life hazards for our children on a daily basis. Basic repairs are so backlogged that the list of work has become unmanageable.” Lujan stated in his letter to Governor Leon Guerrero, asking her to take immediate action.
“We should no longer accept the status quo. I believe if you marshal the resources and flexibility available under a state of emergency declaration you can ensure the necessary resources are quickly activated and immediate progress can take place.” Lujan wrote to Governor Leon Guerrero.
“GDOE is in need of immediate attention and immediate resources. We don’t need more roundtables and more assessments, we need action. Our children deserve nothing less. I hope the Governor will act on my request so we can begin to have GDOE turn things around,” Lujan concluded.
