Two Guam schools have cleared their public health inspections, just in time for the start of the school year.

The Guam Department of Education announced that Vicente S.A. Benavente Middle School improved its inspection score from a 38/C last year to a 32/C this year, marking a step forward in maintaining a safe learning environment.

Meanwhile, Finegayan Elementary School also passed with a grade of 29/C and its cafeteria scored a perfect 0/A during a reinspection.

GDOE extended thanks to the faculty, staff, parents, and community partners, including GDOE maintenance crews, summer interns, and volunteers, who helped both campuses get ready for students.
