It’s been two weeks since the typhoon has made its way to Guam’s shores and no statement from any Guam Department of Education official has been made regarding school damages and assessments are to go on as scheduled.
In videos sent to KUAM showed schools had sustained a number of impairments from missing and watered down ceiling tiles, broken doors, to outside bleachers-meant to support dozens of people- thrown up against the metal fences, bending them.
School staff are also cleaning up inside of rooms that have been flooded in as well as gathering up debris that’s been scattered throughout the campuses.
GDOE officials will be speaking to the Guam Legislature about typhoon damages on Wednesday morning according to GDOE spokeswoman, Michelle Franquez.
Additionally. Wettengel, Machanao, Astumbo and Maria Ulloa Elementary schools are still being used as shelters, housing families who have been greatly affected by Typhoon Mawar.
They are at full capacity and not accepting any more residents.
