Welcome to the Office of the Governor of Guam - A STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR OF GUAM

We are in the midst of recreating our site after encountering technical difficulties. Please check back for the latest updates. We anticipate the completion of the restoration effort by April 3, 2008.

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.

A STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR OF GUAM

June 12, 2009

“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.”
