All Dept. Of Education Personnel To Report To Work Thursday At 12 Noon

Community Center / Hurricane Recovery / News / Virgin Islands / September 28, 2017

Department of Education (D.O.E.) employees are to report to work one hour after the curfew lifts today, which is 12 noon, D.O.E Commissioner Sharon McCollum announced at Governor Kenneth Mapp’s Wednesday post-Hurricanes Irma and Maria press briefing.

Below, find some other important D.O.E. information announced at the briefing:

  • Mr. Mapp announced that at least three schools territory-wide were being condemned: the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School and the E. Benjamin Oliver Elementary School on St. Thomas. On St. Croix, Mr. Mapp said the Arthur Richards Junior High School would be condemned, and that a decision on the Eulalie Rivera Elementary School was pending.
  • The government is aiming for an October 9 reopening of school on St. Thomas. “This is going to be contingent on a number of issues that the Department of Education will have to take care of,” Mr. Mapp said. Dept. of Education will wave the uniform requirement and allow students to wear appropriate clothing.
  • St. Thomas high school seniors from the Eudora Kean and Charlotte Amalie high schools are to meet at Charlotte Amalie High School’s auditorium at 11:00 a.m. on Friday.
  • E. Benjamin Oliver Elementary School students will be combined with the Yvonne Bowsky Elementary School.
  • For St. Croix, the governor said D.O.E. is formulating a plan that will be announced soon relative to the reopening of school. St. Croix seniors, Mr. Mapp said, may commence school before other students, so as to not delay the seniors’ graduation and high education plans.
