“The members of the municipal council and the people of Saipan are [also] extremely gratified with Education Commissioner Dr. Rita H. Inos and board of education members Roman C. Benavente, chair; Marja Lee C. Taitano, secretary/treasurer; Frances H. Diaz, board member; and Herman T. Guerrero, board member, for their strong commitment and leadership in upholding the highest standard of proficiency in the delivery of educational programs in the CNMI Public School System,” part of the resolution reads.
On June 24, 2004, Christina L. Dyer, Commission chair of the Accrediting Commission for Schools, WASC informed Demapan that Kagman Elementary School has been granted a six-year term of accreditation with a midterm review, expiring on June 20, 2010.
