“I have signed the contract with Core Tech for the Tiyan property because I believe it is the only viable solution to end double session in the coming school year. My signature is only one step forward in an effort to ensure the needed instructional time for both our GW and JFK students is not compromised.
While this agreement provides an interim campus that will alleviate overcrowding issues in our school system, the proposed solution requires the Guam Public School System to agree to the terms of this contract.
In addition, the success of this solution will require the legislature to pass legislation by June 17, 2009, as requested by Core Tech, that offers tax credits to offset the payment of the Tiyan property.
Given the immense strain double session has placed on our students, their parents, and our community, it is my hope that other government officials act quickly and in the best interest of the GPSS.
I realize that this contract represents a large financial commitment, but achieving the best possible education for our children demands that we make this investment in the absence of a better interim solution.”
