Elsewhere with only a handful of people remaining at the legislature
after the hearing for Bills 166 and 169 before the Committee on Education,
Sen. Bob Klitzkie’s Bill 162 the Every Child is Entitled to an Adequate
Public Education Act took center stage with the majority of testimony
favoring the bill. However, Guam Federation of Teachers Representative
Matt Rector suggested including a provision that the bill also make school
health counselors present at school be mandatory.
Meanwhile, Inarajan Middle School teacher Robert Foley described his
position toward the bill as “ambivalent.” Specifically, how
are making items like toilet paper in the bathroom necessary to an adequate
education. Rather he suggested making students focus on democracy and
how to live life as a civil citizen in society. Sen. Klitzkie reminds
the community the bill is not limited to a public hearing and he welcomes
additional comments.
