Public schools open except MHS, Oleai

Posted on Aug 30 2004

All public schools in the CNMI will resume classes today except for Marianas High School and Oleai Elementary School, the government said.

The Public School System said MHS remains host to hundreds of typhoon evacuees while Oleai needs some more fixing to ensure the safety of students.

Meantime, Coalition of Private Schools president Scott Norman said yesterday that most private schools have resumed classes.

Norman said he received no reports of heavy damage from any of the private schools.

“Most of them are in session now,” he said.

He said most private school buildings could not hold classes last week primarily due to lack of power.

Meanwhile, PSS said that Garapan, Tanapag, and Koblerville schools, which remained closed Monday, will resume classes beginning today.

Most families seeking temporary shelters in public schools, except MHS, had been transferred to other facilities such as the Ada Gym, Kagman Community Center, and Tanapag social hall.
