(PSS) — Commissioner of Education Dr. Lawrence F. Camacho and Associate Commissioner for Administrative Services Eric Magofna inspected on Friday morning the site for five modular school buildings at Hopwood Middle School.
Each of the prefabricated school buildings will have five classrooms and will be set up in the area where several typhoon-damaged condemned buildings were removed by the contractor responsible for clearing work. The modular structures are funded by the Public School System’s share of the American Rescue Plan Act.
The 20 portable and prefabricated classrooms are expected to be assembled before the opening of the new school year in August.
AS for the request for proposals for the construction of Hopwood’s permanent school buildings, Camacho said it was issued Friday, May 31.
PSS RFP 24-028 is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from individuals or firms interested in the Hopwood construction project.
“We at the Public School System are excited that both projects are now on schedule,” Camacho said. “As our students move to new, temporary but learning-conducive modular classrooms this coming school year, it’s just a matter of time that the full reconstruction of a new Hopwood Middle School campus will commence. This will allow our students to continue to enjoy a safe learning environment.”
