Guam - The Educational
Learning Task Force committees continue to meet to discuss the various problems
plaguing the Department of Education. The Community-Education Committee met Tuesday
afternoon to discuss ways to make the most of limited resources, including
using school grounds for after school programs, adult high school programs, and
other cultural programs because village centers are not enough.
Committee chairperson Mayor Melissa Savares says concerns
include security, liability, and water and power usage, saying, "There is
a contract that they need to sign and rules that need to be followed and waiver
liability because if somebody breaks a leg, we don't want them to sue the
campus or DOE."
Savares says the committee is important because it supports
the families. Parents without high school diplomas may not know how to help
their children succeed in school.
