Class Suspension Extended in Davao City
The local government of Davao City has announced the extension of the suspension of classes until Monday, October 13. This move aims to provide building inspectors with sufficient time to conduct thorough structural assessments of schools and other public facilities across the city.
Officials reported that the City Engineer’s Office is leading the inspection efforts in close coordination with the Department of Education. This collaboration ensures that all educational infrastructures meet safety standards before students return to their classrooms.
Comprehensive Structural Assessment Underway
Local leaders noted that the decision to prolong the suspension of classes was made to prioritize the safety and well-being of students, teachers, and staff. The inspections cover a wide range of facilities, focusing on identifying any structural weaknesses or damages that could pose risks.
Community members expressed support for the extension, emphasizing that safety must come first. “Mas maayo gyud nga sigurado ang tanan para sa kaluwasan sa mga estudyante,” one parent shared.
Coordination Between City Engineer and Education Department
The City Engineer’s Office, together with the Department of Education, is conducting detailed evaluations of each school building. This includes checking load-bearing structures, classrooms, and utility installations to ensure compliance with safety protocols.
Officials reported that the inspections are systematic and thorough, involving technical experts who assess both visible and underlying issues. The goal is to prevent any accidents or structural failures once classes resume.
Next Steps and Communication
After completing the assessments, the local government will release updates regarding the safety status of school facilities. Parents and students are encouraged to stay informed through official channels.
Local leaders assured the public that no decision to resume classes will be made without confirming the buildings’ safety. They stressed the importance of community cooperation during this period.
