Wondering how the Guam Public School System is spending its bond money? We may have the answer. More than $20 million in bond monies was set aside from this fiscal year's budget to go toward capital improvement projects at GPSS, the largest agency in the cash-strapped Government of Guam. After requesting a breakdown of what GPSS has spent that money on so far, spokesperson Gerry Cruz confirms that $1.2 million has gone to employment reclassification and salary increments - neither of which could be classified as a CIP.KUAM news brought this information to Guam Education Policy Board chairman Joe San Agustin, who was shocked about how GPSS was using the money for raises and reclassification, agreeing all bond money should be used at the schools not being placed in employee pocketbooks.
