Guam - It appears teamwork pays off.

Following a combined letter from DOE superintendent Jon Fernandez and Guam Federation of Teachers president Tim Fedenko, Governor Eddie Calvo announces good news for DOE teachers and support staff.

In response to their request for funding, Calvo states payment of retroactive increments and merit bonuses to DOE employees is next on his list of liabilities to pay down.

Calvo notes that upwards of $2 million depending on reconciliations between the DOE Business Office and Department of Administration will be released in May.
