OFFICIAL STATEMENT

On class suspensions and shifting to ADM due to high heat index, other calamities

4 April 2024 - In light of the high heat index experienced in different parts of the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) reiterates the provisions of Department Order 037 issued in 2022, which provides guidelines on the cancellation or suspension of classes and work in schools in the event of natural disasters, power outages/power interruptions, and other calamities.

Specifically, DepEd has given the school heads the authority and discretion to suspend the conduct of in-person classes and shift to alternative delivery modes (ADM) in cases of extreme heat and other calamities that may compromise the health and safety of learners, teachers, and non-teaching personnel. This measure was the subject of OASOPS No. 2023-077 issued last 20 April 2023, and OUCT and OUOPS Memorandum dated 28 February 2023 (Implementation of Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) in All Public Elementary and Secondary Schools).

Given that DepEd supervises more than 47,000 schools nationwide, it is in the best interest of the learning community to have localized assessments for timely response and interventions to ensure the welfare of learners and personnel.

Thank you.

COMMUNITY SAVES SCHOOL FROM FOREST FIRE IN BOKOD, BENGUET

Concerned citizens voluntarily saved Bakian-Guiniawan Elementary School (BGES) from the wrath of forest fires in Bokod, Benguet on Feb. 24.

Demetrio Guiniawan, SPTA president, shared that he and other volunteers from their community joined forces in putting off the forest fire that nearly engulf the said school.

He narrated that they used knapsack sprayers and other traditional means but they ran out of water because the fire destroyed the water systems.

"The PVC water hose and water tanks were burnt so we weren't able to store enough water," Guiniawan said.

Despite the scarcity of water, they managed to secure the school from the raging fire.

He further explained that they saved the school for the benefits of their children.

Fortunately, the forest fire reached the school's adjacent areas on Saturday in which there were no classes.

Accordingly, said school is located at sitio Bakian, Barangay Ekip, Bokod, Benguet.

Over the previous weeks of the month of February, various forest fires in Baguio and Benguet were reported. Like in the Municipality of Bokod, forest fire suppression measures are being carried out in the other municipalities in Benguet.

LUBAS FOLKS VOLUNTARILY HELP CEMENT SIDEWALK

Barangay Kagawad Noemi Balatbat narrated that residents of Barangay Lubas in La Trinidad town initiated a solicitation campaign to fund the concreting of a stony and muddy sidewalk along a sharp curve portion of Lubas-Tawang Road.

Since the sidewalk is stony and muddy, people prefer to walk along the busy road. This scenario is dangerous to both passersby and motorists especially that road has sharp curve part and blind spot.

During school days, hundreds of students and pupils pass along the said road which is risky. La Trinidad National High School and Lubas Elementary School are just less than a kilometer away from the site.

To solve the risk, some Lubas folks led a solicitation campaign for the cementing of the sidewalk which was addressed by kind-hearted individuals and organizations.
