Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008

Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host:


MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors. (You should be able to connect to your database(s) as normal for most of this maintenance window, but you may experience intermittent connectivity issues between midnight and 5:00am EDT.)

We have scheduled this maintenance for a time when traffic to most customers' sites is typically at its lowest. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we expect that the work we're doing will help improve your site's performance.

Governor Signs Bill 242 to Expedite GPSS Projects PDF Print E-mail
Amendment authorizes 2007 Bond proceeds to fund immediate repairs

March 19, 2008

Governor Felix P. Camacho today signed Bill No. 242, now Public Law 29-57, authorizing GPSS to use the 2007 General Obligation Bond proceeds for non-structural repairs, projects and services without the engineering assessment report required by P.L. 29-19.

"The safety and health of our students is my foremost concern," Governor Camacho said.  "GPSS should not have waited this long to utilize the 2007 Bond proceeds knowing the deteriorating condition of our schools.  I am waiving normal procedures so GPSS can address these issues immediately for the sake of our school children."

The new law authorizes GPSS to utilize Bond proceeds specifically for the installation of intercoms; fire alarms and security alarms; air conditioning services and replacements; and other non-structural capital improvement projects needed to address deficiencies cited by the Department of Public Health and Social Services.

GPSS received a total appropriation of $26,135,977 from the 2007 General Obligation Bond Series' net proceeds of more than $69 million, which have been available since last year.  All structural improvement projects still require an engineering assessment report as stated in P.L. 29-19.
