Hey folks, if you're anything like me, you get excited about community projects that actually make a difference for our kids. Well, buckle up because I just dove into the juicy details from a super important meeting in Cagayan de Oro City. On Thursday, May 7, the Local School Board (LSB) gathered in Conference Room 2 of the City Council to chat about some game-changing **UPDATES on the construction of school buildings**. They didn't hold back—everyone was there to push things forward for our youth.
Dr. Roy Angelo Gazo, the City Schools Division Superintendent, took the reins and presided over the whole shebang. Attendees included LSB chief Dr. Alicia Anghay and Councilor Moreno ‘Jing' Daba, who's heading up the 21st City Council’s education committee. Moreover, several City Hall department managers and staff joined in, making it a real team effort. They all listened intently as Engr. Joel Momongan from the City Engineering Office (CEO) rolled out those **UPDATES on the construction of school buildings**. He shared how the CEO is hustling to build and improve facilities, ensuring our schools get the upgrades they desperately need. It's inspiring to see such dedication in action!
Digging Deeper: Budget Boosts and Big-Picture Wins
Now, transitioning from the construction buzz, the LSB didn't stop at just updates—they tackled some forward-thinking items too. For instance, they discussed a request for additional appropriations to fold new projects into the Special Education Fund (SEF) Supplemental Budget No. 2 for Calendar Year 2026. This means more resources flowing toward educational goodies that will benefit kids across the city.
Under Mayor Rolando 'Klarex' Uy's administration, these City Hall initiatives shine bright. They strengthen the Local School Board’s implementation of programs and projects that directly address the youth's educational needs. Additionally, by focusing on these efforts, the team is building a brighter tomorrow, one well-funded school at a time. If you're in Cagayan de Oro, keep an eye on this—it's all about empowering the next generation with top-notch learning spaces!
