The Guam Department of Education on Wednesday announced it awarded a more than $125 million contract to Core Tech International, using federal funds, to refurbish 12 public schools.
GDOE announced most of these projects, funded by federal American Rescue Plan money, months ago.
This is the regional breakdown of schools for refurbishment:
• Haya Region: Oceanview Middle School, Marcial Sablan Elementary School
• Kattan Region: George Washington High School, Agueda Johnston Middle School, Ordot-Chalan Pago, Elementary School, JQ San Miguel Elementary School
• Lagu Region: Finegayan Elementary School, Daniel L. Perez Elementary School, VSA Benavente Middle School
• Luchan Region: Tamuning Elementary School, CL Taitano Elementary School, Jose Rios Middle School
In a press release, GDOE said the focus areas of this refurbishment project include critical infrastructure needs such as crack and spall repair, restroom renovations, exterior door replacement, walkway canopy repair and construction, and electrical upgrades.
“Such an extensive project not only enhances the physical condition of the schools but also serves as an investment in the future of the students. By addressing these five main areas, the GDOE is setting a standard for other educational institutions to follow, demonstrating a commitment to providing high-quality education through improved facilities,” GDOE said.
Education Superintendent Erik Swanson, in a statement, said this initiative is more than just a renovation but a commitment to the future of learning on the island.
