Show by Professional Development Inc — Education news from every state, every school day.
Part two of a four-part Guam series. The Office of Public Accountability has begun a review of every operating Guam Department of Education school — capacity and enrollment, school by school — that will expressly weigh decommissioning, consolidation, and repurposing, after enrollment fell to 23,121 and the cost per pupil rose sixty-two percent in three years. No school has been named and no vote is scheduled; this episode lays out the enrollment record, the closure precedent, the standard the Guam Education Board set when it halted the superintendent's own closure effort in June, and the questions the findings will have to answer.
