In 20 days, the Government of Guam officials indicted in investigations led by the Attorney General’s Office's Government Corruption Division will answer to the charges in local court. Adelup admitted the most serious allegations is over the health inspection reports the Department of Public Health signed off on for at least three high schools.

And now, the Guam Department of Education speaks out as it is their facilities in the spotlight.

Simon Sanchez, George Washington, and Southern High Schools - health and safety inspections at these schools are left in question. the result is that the director of the Department of Public Health and Social Services Art San Agustin and chief health inspector Tom Nadeau face criminal charges in local court. The allegations stem from apparent school inspections that never occurred.

When noting that In the indictment San Agustin gave sanitary permits to three schools that haven’t been inspected, GDOE deputy superintendent Erica Cruz responded to KUAM News, "But those schools have been inspected and we failed the inspection of the Public Health regulations, so we were not given sanitary permits for those schools."

Cruz declined to speak specifically on the indictment, adding all school permits expired on June 30.

Still, she admits, "Schools are not allowed to get a sanitary permit unless they passed inspection." Despite the concerning allegations, the school system continues working with Public Health to get the schools up to par.

So far, she says Adacao Elementary School and John F. Kennedy High School failed their recent inspection, adding Inarajan Elementary School passed. Other campuses are in line to be inspected, as well.

"We are currently waiting for the other schools to be inspected by Public Health, but at this point we are following Public Law 37-4 and it’s clear that an inspection has to take place before a sanitary permit has been given," Cruz stated.

The upcoming inspections include GW and Southern. "They are on the list for inspection. I have ten schools (scheduled) and they are not part of the first ten schools, but they will be eventually be inspected."

When further asked if she was not aware of the indictment for Director San Agustin, Cruz said, "I can only speak for the Department of Education. We are following Public Law 37-4. We are being compliant with the law and we know that we have to be inspected in order to get a sanitary permit."
